About Chilko Lake (Tsylos Park Lodge) Airport
Chilko Lake (Tsylos Park Lodge) Airport is a private wilderness aerodrome serving Tsylos Park Lodge and the north end of Chilko Lake in British Columbia's Chilcotin region. The facility uses the IATA code CJH and Transport Canada location identifier CAG3, and operates a single 3,200-foot gravel runway (18/36). Landing is by prior permission only.
The airstrip sits about 160 km southwest of Williams Lake, near Ts'yl-os Provincial Park. It functions mainly as a charter-flight gateway for lodge guests, with private aircraft connecting from Vancouver in roughly one to one and a half hours. Road access is available via Highway 20 and remote gravel roads.
Because the airport is designed for small aircraft and lodge traffic, passenger handling is simple and seasonal. The runway is generally closed from early November to early May, and arriving guests are met on the gravel apron by lodge staff rather than processed through a commercial terminal.
On-site services centre on Tsylos Park Lodge, which offers accommodation, meals and telephone, while the aerodrome provides aircraft parking and tie-downs. For travellers, the airport is a convenient air access point for fishing, horseback riding, hiking and other wilderness experiences around Chilko Lake and the surrounding provincial park.
