Crow Island Airport (also known as Crow Island Airpark) is a[ citation needed ] private airport along the Assabet River in Stow, Massachusetts, United States. It has a 2,300 foot grass airstrip which is popular with "pilots flying a variety of aircraft including, trikes, ultralights, vintage taildraggers, seaplanes, hang gliders, powered paragliders, powered parachutes, RC aircraft and more." [1]

Crow Island had previously been used for a gravel business operated by George Morey. In 1978 Rob Albright, an ultralight enthusiast, eventually purchased. He made developments to the land for full-time use as a small airport. [2] [ failed verification ]
