I came to Skydive Toledo in 2005 as a pilot for their Cessna 182. This flying job soon transformed into a passion as my co-workers became like family and jump flying became a calling. This passion for skydiving is shared by the staff from manifest to the DZO.

The introduction of the Caravan (leased from mid-May to early winter) has increased the dropzone's capabilities in turn times and load availability.

This dropzone also possesses an experienced field and a student field with many alternate emergency landing areas.

Skydive Toledo welcomes all from students to veterans to enjoy its warm vibe, scenery, and turbine altitude.

Highly recommended!

This is probably the most relaxed DZ I've jumped at. All of the staff and jumpers are friendly and make you feel right at home. The Caravan, that is leased through '07, was great!
I decided to take a long lunch break and make the drive up to Toledo from Portland on a beautiful Monday in May. When I showed up at noon there wasn't anything going on and the place looked deserted. By one thirty things were happening and I was on a Caravan load to 14k. By three thirty I was packing from my second jump of the day. So much for a long lunch break...
Make the trip and put the word out, this place is where it's at in the great Northwest!

SKYDIVE TOLEDO used to be called The TOLEDO PARACHUTE CENTER and is one of the oldest dropzones in the Northwest. It has been in continous operation since 1973. Located at the Ed Carlson Memorial Field just 3 miles East of I-5 near the small town of Toledo (pop. 648) in Southwest Washington State, Skydive Toledo is just a little over an hour North of Portland, Oregon and just under two hours South of Seattle, Washington. Great Scenery and a great skydiving vibe is the best reason to come to Toledo. If your looking for multiple turbine aircraft and 30 ways, you'd be better off looking elsewhere. If a couple of casual skydives over beautiful scenerey with a great view of Mt St. Helens sounds good, then this is the place for you. Amenities are few but it's not unusual to be invited to a local jumpers house for breakfast. Camping and bonfires are incouraged, of course.
