Hemlock Run Airport

The specific reason for closure is not officially documented. However, as a small, privately-owned airfield, the closure was most likely due to a private decision by the owner. Common reasons for such closures include the sale of the property, the owner ceasing aviation activities, retirement, or prohibitive costs of maintenance and insurance. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a major accident, military conversion, or the failure of a commercial enterprise.

The airport is permanently closed. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows that the site is now private land. The faint outline of the former north/south turf runway is still visible as a mowed strip within a larger field. There are no remaining hangars, buildings, or any other aviation-related infrastructure on the site. The land appears to be used as open space or for agricultural purposes as part of a private residence.

Hemlock Run Airport was a small, private general aviation airfield. It became operational sometime between 1982 and 1986. Its primary function was to serve the personal and recreational flying needs of its owner and possibly invited guests. The facility consisted of a single unpaved turf runway, approximately 2,500 feet in length. It did not handle commercial, cargo, or scheduled passenger operations. Its historical significance is limited to being a local, private-use airstrip typical of many that existed across the United States to support the general aviation community.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Hemlock Run Airport. The land is privately owned and has been fully converted to non-aviation use for over two decades. Re-establishing an airport on the site would be highly unlikely.
