Description
Midway between Kelso and Vancouver is an excellent example of a state airport turning into a community airport. Woodland's value is extremely hard to place, but must be considered high. In the last decade Woodland has gone from a little dirt and grass track, to a lighted, paved 1,953 foot asphalt strip. There are fine restaurants and motels within walking distance, plus swimming and other city functions. The Lewis River runs along the east edge of the field and steelhead fishing is not uncommon, however there is no swimming in the river. Interstate 5 runs along the west edge and ground transportation is easy to find.
The airport is open year around, except for times when the river level exceeds the field elevation. There are trees along the banks of the river to the east, and the Interstate is significantly higher than the airport. The approach from the north contains hangars, powerlines, and the city sewer plant. The approach from the south has trees and a bridge. One caution: When there are strong winds from the east, the turbulence can be severe, and landing impossible. Overflight to check field conditions is recommended.
