About Kneeland Airport
Kneeland Airport is a small public general aviation airport operated by Humboldt County, serving Eureka and the surrounding Redwood Coast region. The facility opened in September 1964 and occupies about 14 acres on a mountain ridge.
Located roughly 10 miles (16 km) southeast of Eureka at about 2,741 feet above sea level, the airport has a single asphalt runway, Runway 15/33, measuring about 2,250 by 50 feet. Its elevated position keeps it above the coastal fog that often affects low-lying airports in the area, making it a useful alternate for general aviation pilots.
The airport is reached by road from Eureka via Highway 101, Kneeland Road and Mountain View Road, with driving times that vary with weather and road conditions. It is unattended, has no control tower, and is restricted to day use, with night operations prohibited and no fuel available.
As a general aviation field, Kneeland Airport does not offer commercial airline service or full passenger terminals, but it supports private aircraft, Cal Fire helitack operations and recreational flying. Travelers continuing to Eureka, Arcata or nearby communities typically arrange private transfers or rental vehicles.
