Ludington Airport

The airport was a private grass airstrip. It was closed due to abandonment. The land was fully converted for agricultural use by its private owner, a common fate for small, private-use airfields when they are no longer needed, or the property changes hands.

The site is currently private farmland. The faint outline of the former north-south grass runway is still discernible in satellite imagery but is completely overgrown and integrated into a cultivated agricultural field. There are no remaining airport structures, hangars, or markings on the site.

The name 'Ludington Airport' is a misnomer found in some unofficial aviation databases. The airport was a private airstrip located in Port Hope, not the city of Ludington, MI. The name likely originates from the Ludington family, who were prominent historical landowners in the Port Hope area. The airport itself was a small, private grass runway with no major historical significance. Operations were limited to private general aviation, likely serving the landowner's personal or agricultural light aircraft. The identifier 'US-10727' is not an official ICAO or FAA code but an internal designation from a non-governmental database.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. The land is privately owned and its use has been fully converted to agriculture. Given this conversion and the close proximity of the active Port Hope Airport (FAA: 7M5), a reopening is considered highly improbable.
