Instead, available information suggests it is a very basic, rough airstrip with infrequent, likely specialized, usage. There are no traditional traveler reviews concerning terminal facilities, amenities, security, or transportation as would be found for a conventional airport.

Overall Traveler Sentiment and Satisfaction: Due to the nature of the airstrip, there is no collected traveler sentiment or satisfaction data. Discussions suggest the strip is unmaintained and rough, not catering to general aviation or public travel.

What Pilots Note (Limited Information):

Helicopter Training: The airstrip has been noted as an area for Night Vision Goggle (NVG) helicopter operations training, possibly by units like the Oregon National Guard or Columbia Helicopters.
Bush Plane Potential: Some discussions suggest it might be minimally suitable for bush planes due to its rough nature.
Historical Use: It was reportedly used as a gun range.

Common Complaints

Rough Condition: The airstrip is consistently described as "really rough" and "chewed up" by 4-wheelers, making it unsuitable for most aircraft. One historical account even mentions a landing where a large puddle splashed over a plane.
Limited Access: Access to the airstrip has been blocked by gates, reportedly by "WeyCo" (likely Weyerhaeuser).
Lack of Facilities: There are no facilities or amenities whatsoever.
Short Runway: An older report indicates the airstrip is only about 450 feet long, further limiting its utility.

Scotts Mills Airstrip (US-1541) is not a destination for commercial or recreational air travel in the traditional sense. It appears to be an extremely basic, unmaintained strip, likely used for specialized helicopter training and historically as a gun range.
