Mad River Airpark (I54) is a small private grass airfield one mile northeast of Tremont City in Clark County, Ohio, home to a local flying association and an Experimental Aircraft Association chapter. With a single grass runway and no instrument approaches, it is a straightforward but characterful destination for VFR general aviation flying in rural west-central Ohio.
Mad River Airpark is a privately owned and operated airfield located one mile northeast of Tremont City, Ohio. It is owned by Mad River Airpark LLC and has, since 2017, been served by the Mad River Flying Association, a local group formed to support flying activity at the field. The airport also hosts a chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association, giving it a strong general-aviation and homebuilt-aircraft character that will appeal to visiting simulator pilots looking for a quiet grass-strip destination.
The airfield sits in open country one mile northeast of Tremont City, Ohio, at coordinates 40.0201, -83.8285. There is no control tower on site, and the field operates as an uncontrolled airport.
Mad River Airpark has a single grass runway, 09/27, measuring 2,677 feet in length. The runway surface is grass throughout, with no paved sections, and there is no ILS or other precision approach aid serving either end.
There is no control tower at Mad River Airpark, and operations are conducted without air traffic control services. The field has no instrument landing system and is not served by any navigation aids, making it a visual-only destination for arriving and departing traffic.
The airfield is owned and operated by Mad River Airpark LLC. The Mad River Flying Association was founded in 2017 to support and organise flying activity at the field, and it is also home to a chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association. On 16 July 1994 a Cessna 172 was destroyed in an accident shortly after taking off from the airport, when the aircraft levelled off low, entered a descent, and struck trees; the probable cause was recorded as the pilot's failure to maintain control of the aircraft.
Mad River Airpark remains a small general-aviation field without a fixed-base operator, and no fuel is available on site. There is no control tower, and flying activity is centred on the Mad River Flying Association and the resident Experimental Aircraft Association chapter. As a privately owned airpark, prior permission from the operator is required before any visit.
