The airport was closed sometime between 1994 and 1998. It was last depicted on the 1994 St. Louis Sectional Chart but was no longer present on the 1998 World Aeronautical Chart or listed in the 2000 AOPA Airport Directory.
The specific reason for closure is not officially documented. As a small, privately-owned airfield, the closure was almost certainly due to private circumstances, such as the sale of the property, the owner's decision to cease operations for personal or financial reasons, or the land being repurposed by the owner. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a major accident, military conversion, or regulatory action.
The site of the former airport is now part of a private residential property. Based on recent satellite imagery, the distinct outline of the former north-south runway is still clearly visible as a well-maintained, mowed grassy field. There are no remaining airport-specific structures like hangars or terminal buildings. The land has been absorbed into the surrounding private property and is not used for any aviation, commercial, or industrial purposes.
Timber Trails Airport (also known as Timber Trails Airpark) was a private general aviation airfield established likely between 1965 and 1968. It served local private pilots and was not a facility for commercial or military operations. Its primary infrastructure consisted of a single unpaved turf runway, designated 18/36, with a length of 2,200 feet. Operations would have been limited to small, light aircraft suitable for short, grass-strip landings and takeoffs. For approximately three decades, it was a feature on aeronautical charts and in pilot directories, serving as a small node in the local general aviation network.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Timber Trails Airport. Given that it has been officially closed for over 25 years and the land is now fully integrated into a private residential property, the likelihood of its reactivation as an airport is virtually zero.
