Friends of Essex Skypark

Friends of Essex Skypark A small, grass roots, friendly place to fly in or drive in and hang out.

Essex Skypark (W48) is a small, general aviation airport that is publicly owned and open for public use. Surrounded by over 500 acres of undisturbed and pristine wetlands and heavy forest, the airport lies along the Back River which also serves as its seaplane landing area. With a 2,100 foot paved runway and one of the few seaplane facilities on the east coast, Essex is a haven for local aviation

enthusiasts. The Friends of Essex Skypark seek to make the most of all the area offers to the surrounding Essex communities, the users of Essex Skypark, and the residents of Baltimore County and the State of Maryland.
