The Birchwood-Pocono Airpark is a former airport located in Tannersville, Pennsylvania that operated alongside the Birchwood Resort from 1968 until its closure in 1996.
The resort and airpark were originally owned by a Pan Am pilot and founder of Pocono Airlines, the late[1] Walter E. ("Wally") Hoffman Jr.[2] and his former wife Gail.
The location is identified by the United States Board on Geographic Names as the Birchwood-Pocono Airpark[3]
The site is now derelict and the airstrip closed.[4]
It is currently owned[5] by the C. Castle Group, which at one time had ambitious plans for redevelopment[6] that were not popular with some local residents,[7] and which have since been modified.[8]
In 2014, fugitive Eric Matthew Frein was captured near an abandoned hangar at the former facility after an extended manhunt.[9][10]
