Canyon View Ranch Airport

As a private airfield, there was no official public announcement regarding its closure. The reason is not documented, but for a private ranch strip of this nature, closure is typically due to private economic or personal reasons. Common factors include a change in property ownership, the owner no longer being an active pilot, the sale of the aircraft, or the costs of insurance and maintenance becoming prohibitive. There is no evidence of closure due to a major accident, military conversion, or regulatory action.

The airport is permanently closed and non-operational. Recent satellite imagery shows the former turf/dirt runway is heavily overgrown and faded, blending back into the surrounding agricultural land. The site is part of an active ranch/farm and is used for grazing or other agricultural purposes. The runway is not maintained and is unusable by aircraft.

The airport's significance was purely local and private, serving the needs of the Canyon View Ranch. It was a private-use airstrip and did not handle commercial or scheduled operations. When active, it featured a single unpaved runway, approximately 3,900 feet long and oriented north-south. Operations would have consisted of light general aviation aircraft (e.g., single-engine piston planes like a Cessna or Piper) used for personal transportation, agricultural purposes such as cattle spotting or property surveying, or recreational flying by the ranch owner.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Canyon View Ranch Airport. As the land is privately owned, any decision to restore and reopen the airstrip would be solely at the discretion and expense of the current landowner. Given that the site has reverted to agricultural use for several years, a reopening is considered highly unlikely.
