Narrative:
I inadvertently landed on a closed runway. I was unaware of the runway closure; which I subsequently discovered had just gone into effect that morning. I did not see the runway closed markings and after landing saw cones blocking the entrance to the ramp from the taxiways; so I took off and after circling; saw the yellow x markings which were placed off the ends of the runway in grass; not on or near the runway numbers which were clearly visible. In addition to less than optimal runway closure markings; I had not noticed any posted notice of the planned closure despite flying into the airport and walking through the terminal building multiple times in the last few weeks.
