Packwood Airport is a single runway, public general aviation airport, 3 blocks west of U.S. Route 12 in downtown Packwood, Washington. No commercial service uses the airport, and flight operations are predominantly private, with search-and-rescue and wildfire control operations in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest and Mount Rainier National Park a significant secondary usage. It is one of two airports, including South Lewis County Airport, owned and operated by Lewis County, Washington.
