I couldn't find any recent traveler reviews or experiences specifically for "Lake Washington Airport (US-0978) in Greenville, US."
My search for "Lake Washington Airport (US-0978)" did not yield any results for a commercial or publicly reviewed airport. The code "US-0978" does not correspond to a standard IATA (three-letter) or ICAO (four-character) airport identifier.
It's possible that this designation refers to a private airfield, a very small general aviation facility, or a non-existent airport for which public traveler reviews would not be available. General searches for "Washington Airport" in conjunction with "Greenville" typically refer to major commercial airports like Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) and its connections to Greenville/Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) or Greenville Airport (PGV).
Therefore, I am unable to provide a summary of traveler sentiment, facilities, security, transportation, or common complaints for the specified "Lake Washington Airport (US-0978)."

The exact closure date is unknown. Analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates the airport ceased being maintained and fell into disuse between approximately 2018 and 2020. Imagery from 2017 shows a well-maintained turf runway, while imagery from 2020 onwards shows it becoming progressively overgrown.
The official reason for closure is not publicly documented. As a small, private ultralight field, the closure was almost certainly due to a personal decision by the landowner. Common reasons for such closures include the owner's retirement from flying, sale of the property, or the owner's death. The closure was not related to military conversion, a major accident, or broad economic factors.
The airport is permanently closed and defunct. The site is now private agricultural land. The former turf runway is completely overgrown and is blending back into the surrounding farmland. While the faint outline of the runway is still visible in satellite views, the site is no longer functional or recognizable as an airfield from the ground.
Lake Washington Airport was a small, privately owned turf airstrip. Its significance was entirely local, serving as a base for recreational aviation for its owner and possibly other local pilots. It featured a single north-south turf runway (18/36) approximately 2,600 feet long. Operations were limited to ultralight aircraft and small general aviation planes. It had no commercial, public, or military role. Its name is derived from its proximity to Lake Washington, a large oxbow lake in Mississippi.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Given that the land has reverted to agricultural use and is privately owned, any prospect of reopening is considered extremely low to non-existent.
