Hidden River Airport (22FA) is a private grass-strip airpark serving a fly-in residential community on the northern edge of the Hidden River neighbourhood, just outside Sarasota, Florida. Sitting on the northern margin of Myakka River State Park, it offers a quiet rural setting with a single turf runway and no published radio services, making it a field for those with prior arrangement rather than casual VFR drop-ins.
Hidden River Airport is a small private airpark located within the Hidden River fly-in community near Sarasota, Florida. It is owned and operated by the Hidden River Association, and its single runway sits on the northern end of the residential neighbourhood, positioned so as not to disturb residents or the surrounding wildlife. The field is of interest chiefly to simulator pilots wanting to explore a genuine private grass airpark tucked against protected parkland rather than a commercial or municipal aerodrome.
The airport lies roughly 14 miles east of Sarasota, Florida, on the northern edge of Myakka River State Park. There is no indication of controlled airspace directly overhead in the sources reviewed; pilots should consult current charts for the surrounding Sarasota airspace before planning a flight in the area.
Hidden River Airport has a single runway, 09/27, with a hard surface and runway lighting. Runway 09 is 2442 feet long and Runway 27 is 2300 feet long, reflecting the slight difference in usable length in each direction. Field elevation is 46 feet.
No communications frequencies are published for Hidden River Airport, and there is no indication of an air-ground or ATC service, navaids, or instrument approaches at the field.
No specific joining or circuit procedures, circuit heights, or noise abatement requirements are given in the available sources. Given the airport's private status and residential surroundings, pilots should expect to coordinate any visit in advance rather than relying on standard published procedures.
No formal visual reference points are published for the airfield. The airpark can be located by reference to the Hidden River residential community itself and the adjacent northern boundary of Myakka River State Park, with the runway situated at the northern end of the neighbourhood.
Hidden River Airport was developed as part of the Hidden River fly-in community, a residential development built around private aviation, and remains owned and operated by the Hidden River Association, Inc. Its runway placement at the northern end of the neighbourhood was a deliberate choice to minimise disturbance to residents and the abundant local wildlife.
Hidden River Airport continues to serve the private Hidden River fly-in community near Sarasota. It is for private use only, and prior permission is required before landing. There is no indication of public flight training, clubs, fuel availability, or published operating hours at the field.
