Clapp Farm Airfield

Cessation of private use. As a private farm airstrip, its closure was almost certainly due to the owner no longer flying, selling the property, or other personal circumstances. This is a common reason for the closure of small, private airfields. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident, commercial economic failure, or military conversion.

The site is no longer an active or maintained airfield. Current satellite imagery clearly shows the faint but distinct outline of the former grass runway in the middle of a field. The land has reverted to agricultural use, and the runway area is overgrown and unusable for aircraft. The surrounding area remains active farmland.

Clapp Farm Airfield was a registered private airstrip, typical of the many farm strips that supported rural general aviation in Canada. Its operations were limited to private use, likely by the farm's owner for recreational flying or personal transport. It featured a single unpaved turf runway, approximately 2,200 feet long, oriented in a north/south direction. Its primary significance is as an example of a registered, private-use aerodrome integrated into an agricultural setting, rather than having any major commercial or military history.

There are no known public plans or prospects for reopening Clapp Farm Airfield. The land is privately owned, and any potential for reopening would be entirely dependent on the current landowner's desire to re-establish and re-certify an airfield with Transport Canada. The prospect is considered extremely unlikely.
