Lenhardt Airhaven Airpark is a privately owned, public use airport with a 3200 foot paved runway and parallel grass strip in the heart of the lush Oregon Willamette Valley. The airport sits in a gently rolling countryside 25 miles South of Portland, Oregon amid nurseries in a beautiful rural community called "Whiskey Hill".   It is located 25 nautical miles south of Portland International Airport (PDX) and 27 miles north of the Salem airport (SLE).   Airhaven is only 15 minutes driving time from three nearby Interstate 5 exits. Area towns include Hubbard, Aurora, Canby and Woodburn. Full shop services are available.

More than fifty condominium-type hangars have been developed for lifetime-lease over the last several years. The hangars and the airport grounds are leased by these hangar owners on a 270 year term. The pilot/owners control the use and maintenance of the airpark. Although it is not a residential airpark, it has a strong sense of community with common areas and a clubhouse.  A pilot hangar-talk social is held every Friday at 10am with coffee and doughnuts provided.  Group breakfast and lunch flyouts are frequent, especially on Saturdays.  Fuel is available 24/7 to members.

Although grass-strip type flying is our specialty, an IFR clearance can be obtained on the ground from Portland Approach on 119.95 and a release from 126.0.  An IFR approach into Aurora Airport (UAO) can usually bring an aircraft to VFR conditions for a 3 mile transit to Lenhardt's at pattern altitude.  So, do drop in to visit.  We have wireless internet and a local weather station for your flight planning convenience.

The airpark is the home of many classic, early military, homebuilt and antique-type aircraft and is programmed to keep the country atmosphere of the early days with the Cascade Mountain view and grass taxiways which invite the tail-draggers to "Come on in, the grass is fine!".
