Oxford Mills Private Strip

The specific reason is not officially documented, which is typical for a small, private airstrip. The closure was almost certainly due to factors related to private ownership, such as the owner selling the property, ceasing aviation activities due to age or cost, or a new owner having no interest in maintaining an airfield. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed for military conversion, a major accident, or regulatory action.

The site is a private rural property. High-resolution satellite imagery confirms that the former runway is completely gone, having been reclaimed by nature and is now indistinguishable from the surrounding fields and meadows. A large building on the property, which was likely the original hangar, is still standing, but its current use is unknown. The land is not used for any aviation activities.

Oxford Mills Private Strip was a small general aviation facility serving the personal and recreational needs of its private owner. With a single 2,000-foot turf runway (designated 02/20), it was suitable for light single-engine aircraft, such as Cessnas and Pipers, as well as ultralights. Its significance was purely local, providing a base for private flight in the North Grenville area. It did not support commercial, scheduled, or military operations.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Given that the land is privately owned and the runway has been non-existent for over a decade, the likelihood of it ever being restored as an airstrip is extremely low to nil. Reopening would require a significant, and unlikely, investment and initiative from the current landowner.
