Positioned at 44.485056, -79.554663, the airport serves the Lake Simcoe region with a substantial 6,001-foot asphalt runway. Its elevation of 972 feet above mean sea level provides pilots with a moderate terrain environment for operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's mid-latitude location suggests variable weather conditions typical of central Ontario. Pilots should anticipate seasonal temperature and wind variations that can significantly impact flight operations. The airport's elevation and geographic position near Lake Simcoe can create localized meteorological phenomena that require careful pre-flight weather assessment.
