TRIGGER GAP

The RAF raised funds for this new 3,000 ft. grass airstrip in the beautiful Ozark Mountains through private donations. It’s located on Nature Conservancy lands, and a long-term lease ensures its future. Local RAF volunteers helped construct the airport and have committed to ongoing maintenance.

Trigger Gap is located 3.2 nm south of Carroll County Airport (4M1) in Arkansas. Runways are 10/28 and lined with cones on 200 ft. spacing. Windsocks are located on the SW and NE corners. There are two fire rings and wood on site. Enjoy camping with a great view over the Kings River, famous for small mouth bass fishing.  As a special treat, Kings River Outfitters will pick you up and return you. Call 479-253-8954.
