Griffith Field

The specific reason for closure is not officially documented. As a private airfield operated by an individual (listed as 'B. Griffith'), it is presumed the closure was due to personal circumstances, such as the owner's retirement from flying, sale of the property, or the owner passing away. The closure was not related to military conversion, major economic factors, or a specific accident.

The site is currently private land. High-resolution satellite imagery shows that the outline of the former grass runway is still clearly visible and appears to be well-maintained as a mowed field or a very large lawn associated with a nearby private residence. However, it is no longer a registered or operational aerodrome, and there is no remaining airport infrastructure such as hangars or markings.

Griffith Field was a private general aviation aerodrome serving the rural area of Griffith in Greater Madawaska, Ontario. Its operations were primarily for recreational and private use by its owner and likely other local pilots with permission. According to aviation supplements from the early 1990s, it featured a single 2,600-foot turf runway designated 14/32. Its significance was purely local, providing private air access in a remote part of Eastern Ontario, and it did not handle commercial or military traffic.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Griffith Field as an official, registered airport. Given its status as private property and its closure for over two decades, a return to public or registered aviation use is highly unlikely.
