Hidden Acres Airpark

The airport was a private residential airpark, likely owned and operated by a single individual or family (records from the time of operation list John B. Hinkle as the owner). The closure was not due to military conversion, accidents, or large-scale economic events. The most probable reason is personal, such as the owner selling the property, passing away, or no longer having the means or desire to maintain an active airfield.

The site is currently a private residential property. The outline of the former turf runway is still clearly visible from satellite view, but it is completely overgrown with grass and small trees, rendering it unusable for any aviation activity. The land is now used for residential and rural purposes, with a home located at the northern end of the former runway.

Hidden Acres Airpark held local significance as a private general aviation facility. It was not a public or commercial airport. Its primary function was to serve the recreational flying needs of its owner. The facility consisted of a single, well-maintained north-south turf runway, approximately 2,400 feet in length. It would have accommodated light single-engine aircraft, such as Cessnas, Pipers, and other similar personal airplanes. It represents a common type of private residential airpark found across rural America, built for the passion and convenience of a private pilot.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Hidden Acres Airpark. As the land is privately owned and the airfield infrastructure has been abandoned and allowed to return to nature, reopening would require a significant private investment to clear, grade, and potentially re-certify the runway. Given the private nature of the original airfield and its current state, the prospect of it reopening is effectively zero.
