    Description

    This is a private air strip maintained by Mercey Hot Springs.  The airport is OFFICIALLY closed... however, UNofficially it is open to pilots.  The manager says that due to county regulations the runway is X'd off and not listed on the charts.  The manager further says that if a pilot hears a strange noise or wants to land somewhere to check anything else out on his airplane, that pilot is welcome to land at Mercey Hot Springs and make sure the aircraft is okay.  While you're there if you'd like to have a soak or camp overnight to calm your  nerves, you are more than welcome to do so.

      It's a short and narrow runway but pretty flat. Watch out for gopher holes!

    • Mercey Hot Springs

      Mercey Hot Springs

      Mercey Hot Springs (formerly, Mercy Hot Springs) is an unincorporated community in the Panoche Valley of Fresno County, central California, about 60 miles west-southwest of Fresno. It is a resort along Little Panoche Road (Fresno County Road J1) located at the western edge of Fresno County.

      Located in the Panoche Valley, the facility includes a campground and natural hot springs. It lies at an elevation of 1,161 ft.

      The springs were discovered in 1848 and the resort opened after 1900.The name is in honor of J.N. Mercy, an early stockman.

      I took the opportunity to fly over and video the springs. I was careful to fly around (not over) the facility and stay high enough that I wouldn't capture any people that would be recognizable. My attempt to preserve their privacy.
