Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

Circa 2014-2015. Analysis of historical satellite imagery shows a well-maintained grass runway visible until 2013. By 2015-2016, the runway area was being actively farmed and integrated into the surrounding agricultural fields, indicating the airport ceased operations during that timeframe.

Reason for Closure

Change in land use and economic reasons. The airport was a private airstrip on agricultural land. The owner converted the runway area into a cultivated field, suggesting that farming the land was deemed more practical or profitable than maintaining a private airport. There is no evidence of closure due to an accident, military conversion, or regulatory action.

Current Status

The site is now used for agriculture. The land that once formed the grass runway has been fully converted into a cultivated farm field. A large building on the property, likely the original hangar, appears to be extant and is presumably repurposed for farm storage or other agricultural use. All other signs of airport infrastructure have been removed.

Historical Significance

Eagle Ridge Private Airport was a small, privately owned and operated aerodrome serving general aviation. According to past Canadian Flight Supplements, it featured a single turf runway (10/28) measuring approximately 2600 feet by 100 feet. Its operations were limited to recreational flying for the owner and pilots with prior permission (PPR). It primarily handled light single-engine aircraft and ultralights. Its significance was personal to its owner and the local flying community rather than having a broader commercial or historical impact.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Eagle Ridge Private Airport. The complete conversion of the runway to productive farmland makes a return to aviation use highly improbable and would require significant investment to re-establish the necessary infrastructure.
