PHASE TWO IMPROVEMENTS AT NOBLE COUNTY AIRPORT

Ohio’s Noble County Airport, (I10) lies within Wolf Run State Park, 64 nm ESE of Columbus. The fly-in only campground, situated on a beautiful lake, “is the only such destination in Ohio,” RAF Ohio Liaison Christine Mortine said. She was impressed with its recreational opportunities, and in April was granted funds for two equipment carts and an RAF fire ring to add to the two existing fire rings. 

“The Wolf Run Fly In Camp Area has proven to be a highly energized project with mounting support and enthusiasm,” Christine said, leading to Phase Two improvements with what she calls “full throttle involvement” of the Noble County Board of Trustees, Noble County Commissioner, Ohio State Parks Ohio Department of Natural Resources, and RAF.

Thanks to RAF grant funds, construction will begin for a Pilot Shelter/Storage Room near the camp area to provide cover for picnic tables and storage for carts, kayak paddles, lifejackets, and bikes. At least three wooden tent platforms will be added. The outhouses will be improved, and the tie-down area will be graded for proper drainage. She also budgeted for the installation of a camp visitor registration box. “The portion of the campground on the airport side is beautifully private,” she said. 

The project should be completed by August. See airfield.guide for information.
