Description

Hiland airstrip is the fairly obvious private gravel airstrip that is situated on the lower flanks of Hiland Mountain and runs parallel to the Eagle River valley.  The owner of the property is friendly and may come out to greet you when you land.

This is primarily a bailout LZ for those that find themselves unable to make it to the Woodlot.

 

Hazards

  • This airstrip sees very little air traffic but keep a lookout for approaching aircraft if you land here.
  • The airstrip is big but be aware that there are large high voltage power lines along the north side of the airstrip.
