Wakulla Club Airport

The specific reason for closure is not officially documented, which is common for small, private airfields. The closure was most likely due to economic reasons or a change in land use. The 'Wakulla Club' it served may have disbanded, the property may have been sold, or the owners may have decided it was no longer practical to maintain an airfield. The land was subsequently allowed to revert to forest, a common fate for such properties in the region, which were often acquired by timber companies.

The site of the former airport is completely unrecognizable as an airfield today. It is now a dense, managed pine forest, characteristic of the commercial timberlands in the area. Current satellite imagery shows no visible remnants of the runway, taxiways, or any associated buildings. The land is used for timber harvesting or is held as undeveloped forestland.

Wakulla Club Airport was a private general aviation airfield established to serve a private entity known as the 'Wakulla Club,' likely a recreational, hunting, or fishing lodge. First appearing on charts in the mid-1960s, it provided convenient air access for club members and guests to a relatively remote area of the Florida coast. The airfield consisted of a single unpaved, turf runway with a length of approximately 2,600 feet, suitable for light single-engine aircraft like Cessnas and Pipers. Its operations were exclusively private and recreational.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Wakulla Club Airport. Having been closed for approximately four decades, the site has fully reverted to a mature forest. Re-establishing an airport would require clear-cutting the timber, extensive earthwork, and significant financial investment, making it prohibitively expensive and impractical. The original purpose for the airfield no longer exists.
