Description

Oakridge State Airport is a well maintained state airport located on a bluff overlooking the town of Oakridge. The runway is 3610x47', and is well-maintained. The runway dips in the center, causing a slight optical illusion on final. On approach to runway 09, there is a peak to the right of final, and a slope toward the threshold. There is also a small clump of trees off the approach end of runway 09. It was necessary for me to use an angled final, and turn once past the trees. Very similar to Toledo State. There aren't any parallel taxiways, and the only entrance/exit to the runway is near the approach-end of runway 27. Though the approach is more sporting, runway 9 is more efficient to arrivals, and 27 for departures, assuming calm wind. The ramp is in fair condition, with several tie-downs and a port-a-potty. It's not clear that there is any efficient means to get into town from the airport.
