Hiking near Airport

Hey all, I used to use Adventure Pilot to find places to hike, camp, lodge near airports. That site has disappeared and now I am looking for an alternative. Anyone know of a good website where you can find things to do within walking distance of airports? (hiking, camping, museums, etc)

PS I did stumble upon airfield.guide, seems pretty good but not comprehensive.
 
We use all the resources mentioned above.

We also look manually. By that I mean we select an airport, open it it AirNav (ones that are not public you can access by typing the name in the airport ID field) and then select the Google view, map view. By inspecting the image you can often find walking trails or input "hiking" or "parks" to Google. It is tedious but we've found a lot of great places to walk/hike. We did this a lot during COVID to get exercise, give our dog different experiences and avoid people.

All Trails

I use All Trails. Nice app for the cell phone.
Takes a bit to figure out.
Search for the city
Open the map
Find the airport
Zoom out. All the trails are noted.
Fine tune settings if you want specific criteria.
