Mt Baker Airfield Location and Use

The Mt Baker Airfield is located in the beautiful North Fork Nooksack river valley in the farthest NW corner of the United States at the base of Mt Baker and the North Cascades. It is sited between the Nooksack River and the Mt Baker Highway between the villages of Glacier and Maple Falls and can be readily identified with a map earth search for 8040 Mt Baker Highway. The use of this property as an aircraft landing area was first established in 1973 and has been grandfathered locally as a private airfield as of the year it was first established by the owner. At this time it is not listed on FAA charts.
