One of the prettiest approaches in the state — you come in up the Sauk River valley under Whitehorse Mountain with the Glacier Peak wilderness beyond. The 2,491' paved strip (10/28) is in good shape. Plan for day VFR, no fuel on field, and bring your own tie-downs. Expect some chop on warm afternoons landing west, and note the west end of the field is a local cemetery — keep your pattern honest.
What sets Darrington apart is the walk: about ten minutes into a real mountain town with groceries, coffee, and a couple of good spots to eat. The Mountain Loop Highway, the Old Sauk Trail, and the Wild & Scenic Sauk River are all right there, and the Darrington Bluegrass Festival every July (50th anniversary in 2027) makes a great fly-in weekend. The town is actively working to bring the airport back to life — come see it while it's still quiet.
Reply to @labubuairportenthusiast: It has not been established in the 90s. While looking at aerial views it seems it has been established at 1979-1980s?
Reply to @ReefShore316: Hey it’s me! So this airstrip was indeed real and the runway was around 390 meters I’d say so and it has been established around the 1950s I’d say so? And that’s all I have for now

A nice little airstrip! great for hiking trips through the surrounding forests and fields, great little restaurant called “Waidenbachhof” in the town which is roughly 45 mins by foot from the airfield. be sure to contact the local council before landing and stay clear off the town on approach
Amsterdam Schiphol (almost) Always has a whole ton of traffic and police, that assure that the traffic keeps moving, just so you guys know if you want to travel to schiphol
Would have liked to spend some time here. Maybe go to the Blue Bunny tour. I did see a vehicle with airport labeling so could have been a courtesy car. We had to make an unplanned stop here as I had a Sick passenger and she needed to get out for a bit before continuing on. So, we fueled up and waited until she was ready to go.
Did not notice a Curtesy car, but we had a vehicle waiting so did not look around for one. It was drizzly and rainy also, so we got the plane covered and left.
According to ulsportpilotsusa.org/airport-info/ there is a gravel strip on the west side of the airport for airpark operations and a parachute drop zone east of the airport.
