Muddy Run Heliport

The heliport was closed for private operational and economic reasons. As a private facility owned by the power generation company (originally Exelon, now Constellation Energy), its purpose was tied to the adjacent power plant. Companies often close such facilities when the cost of maintenance, insurance, and certification outweighs the benefits, especially when helicopter services can be chartered on an as-needed basis without requiring a dedicated, registered heliport.

The physical helipad, a paved surface with a faded 'H' marking, still exists at the specified coordinates. The site is located on the grounds of the Muddy Run Recreation Park visitor center and office, which is owned and operated by Constellation Energy. While the landing pad is physically present, it is no longer a registered or operational heliport. The surrounding area is used for park administration and public recreation.

Muddy Run Heliport was a private-use facility that exclusively served the Muddy Run Pumped Storage Generation Station. Its primary function was to support the power plant's operations. This included aerial inspections of the dam, reservoir, and extensive power line infrastructure; transporting maintenance personnel and specialized equipment to remote or inaccessible areas of the facility; and providing a landing zone for emergency response or executive transport. It had no public access or commercial aviation role.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Muddy Run Heliport. Reinstating a closed, private aviation facility would require a significant operational need from the owner, Constellation Energy, as well as recertification with the FAA. Given that helicopter needs can be met with charter services, the reopening of this specific heliport is considered highly unlikely.
