North end of airstrip looking South. From what I read, a developer bought land on Cypress in 1978 with plans to build a resort and golf course, and cleared this airstrip in the 1980s. Land owners on Cypress fought the development and won, and the developer sold the land to the DNR.

Sign describing the restoration efforts for the old airstrip.
