Steinert Lakes Airport

The specific reason for the closure is not officially documented. However, as a small, privately owned airfield, the closure was likely due to reasons common for such facilities, such as the owner selling the property, ceasing aviation activities, or passing away. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a major accident, economic failure of a commercial enterprise, or military conversion.

The site is currently used as agricultural or pasture land. High-resolution satellite imagery clearly shows the faint but distinct outline of the former north-south runway. There are no remaining structures such as hangars, terminals, or other airport infrastructure on the property. The land has fully reverted to private, non-aviation use.

Steinert Lakes Airport was a small, private general aviation airfield. It was not depicted on aeronautical charts as of 1965 but appeared by 1970. It served private pilots and was likely owned and operated by the Steinert family, for whom the adjacent lake and the airport were named. The airport consisted of a single unpaved, north-south turf runway with an approximate length of 2,600 feet. It never hosted commercial or military operations and was used solely for personal, recreational, or agricultural flying.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Steinert Lakes Airport. Given that it has been officially closed for over three decades and the land has been integrated into the surrounding farmland, a reopening is considered extremely unlikely.
