    Description

    Gateway to the wonderful Everglades N.P.   Camping on the airfield is $12 per night or lodging a 15 minute walk.  Bikes can be rented for about $5 a day from the airport, or a bike for a day comes with purchase of avgas.   Meals and lodging available in town.  Getting there, walk, bike or many businesses will come and pick up pilots.  Next door to the Everglades Park visitor center.  At low tide, one can wade SE from the runway, or if you don't want to get wet, take the roads and sidewalk (circuitous but dry). 

    Tourism and fishing are this towns mainstays.  Opportunities are endless for kayaking, fishing, and wildlife viewing.  Bring the sunscreen, bug spray, and misquito nets.  Also bring your own tie downs if overnighting.  NO tiedowns currently avaiable as of Jan 2010.

    Some resources still list the old CTAF, some list the new and correct- 123.075

      What is THIS? Why would someone build a GIANT runway with a parallel taxiway, in the middle of nowhere in Florida? And how come is it still there AND being used today, a full 55 YEARS after it started getting built? Even if you know what this is about, I bet that there are details about this place and its present use that will surprise you. Stay tuned!
