Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

Circa 2009-2011. The airport was listed in official Canadian aviation publications (Canada Flight Supplement) as late as 2008. By 2011, it was reported as closed in aviation communities, and satellite imagery from that period shows a decline in activity. The main hangar was subsequently removed between 2011 and 2015.

Reason for Closure

The airport was a privately owned and operated aerodrome. While no official reason was published, the closure is consistent with common reasons for small private airfields, such as the owner's retirement, sale of the property, or prohibitive operating costs. The complete conversion of the land back to agricultural use confirms it was a permanent private decision to cease operations.

Current Status

The airport is permanently closed and has been completely dismantled. There are no remaining traces of aviation infrastructure such as runways, taxiways, or buildings. The land where the airport and its hangar once stood has been fully reclaimed for agriculture and is now an active, cultivated farm field.

Historical Significance

Cow Creek Airport was a small, private general aviation airfield located in the community of Wyoming, Ontario, Canada (not Wyoming, CA, USA). It featured a single turf runway (listed as 10/28) approximately 2,600 feet in length. As a private 'Prior Permission Required' (PPR) field, its primary function was to serve the owner's aircraft and local recreational pilots. It handled light, single-engine aircraft and was a feature of the local general aviation landscape, but it did not host commercial, military, or significant industrial operations.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Cow Creek Airport. The complete removal of all infrastructure and the site's successful conversion to productive farmland make a future reopening highly improbable. It is considered permanently defunct.
