Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

The exact closure date is unknown. The heliport was a private facility and was likely officially designated as 'closed' when its registration with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was cancelled or allowed to lapse. Based on its absence from current FAA records and its listing as 'closed' in historical aviation databases, this likely occurred sometime in the late 1990s or early 2000s.

Reason for Closure

The heliport was closed for private reasons. As a private-use facility tied to a specific residence (Snyder Ranch), the closure was not due to military conversion, a major accident, or broad economic factors. The most probable reason is that the property owner no longer owned or operated a helicopter, leading to the voluntary cancellation of the heliport's official registration.

Current Status

The site of the former heliport is currently a large, well-maintained grassy lawn adjacent to a private residence and outbuildings. Satellite imagery confirms that the physical landing area—a flat, open clearing—still exists and is suitable for helicopter landings, but it bears no markings (such as a painted 'H'), lighting, or other infrastructure to indicate it is an active aviation facility. The land is fully integrated into the private residential property's yard.

Historical Significance

Snyder Ranch Heliport held no major historical significance and was a private-use (PVT) facility. Its sole purpose was to serve the personal and/or business transportation needs of the owner of the private property, known as Snyder Ranch, located on Snyder Road. Operations would have consisted of light, infrequent flights by a privately-owned helicopter. The identifier 'US-10968' is an internal reference number from a non-governmental aviation database (OurAirports.com) and is not an official ICAO or FAA code.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Snyder Ranch Heliport. Any potential reactivation would be a private matter, entirely at the discretion of the current landowner, and would require a new registration process with the FAA. There is no public or commercial interest in reopening the facility.
