About Muskoka Airport
Overview
Muskoka Airport serves the scenic Gravenhurst region in central Ontario, providing critical aviation access to the Muskoka Lakes area. Located at 925 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport supports regional transportation with two distinct runways capable of accommodating various aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Muskoka exhibit significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing 37.7% of the time and Marginal VFR conditions occurring 41% of observations. The airport experiences a broad temperature range from -25°C to 29°C, with a mean temperature of -0.4°C, presenting potential challenges for winter and summer operations. Prevailing northwest winds at an average of 8.2 knots contribute to predictable wind patterns.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a grass runway 09/27 spanning 2,180 feet and an asphalt runway 18/36 extending 6,000 feet. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with average crosswind components of 6 knots and 4.7 knots respectively. The substantial difference in runway lengths provides operational flexibility for different aircraft categories.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect optimal visual conditions during autumn months (September, October, November), with average visibility around 7.3 statute miles. The predominant northwest wind direction suggests runway 09/27 and 18/36 will typically offer favorable wind conditions. Visibility drops below 3 statute miles in 4.3% of observations, with minimal fog occurrence at just 0.4%.
