About Collins Bay Airport
Collins Bay Airport is a remote industrial airfield on the west shore of Wollaston Lake in northern Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin. Operated by Cameco under prior-permission arrangements, it primarily supports uranium mining logistics and workforce rotation for sites such as Cigar Lake, McArthur River and Points North Landing.
The airport sits at 1,340 feet elevation with a single gravel runway, 02/20, measuring about 5,191 by 110 feet. It does not have a conventional passenger terminal, but Rise Air provides scheduled regional connections linking Collins Bay with Points North Landing, Stony Rapids, Fond Du Lac, La Ronge, Prince Albert and Saskatoon.
Located in a remote subarctic setting, the airport is roughly 34 km from the small community of Wollaston Lake. Access to the site is typically arranged by air or through operator-coordinated ground transport, and travelers should confirm schedules and permissions with their carrier before departure.
As a controlled-access facility, Collins Bay Airport functions mainly as an industrial aviation gateway rather than a conventional passenger hub. It serves a limited range of scheduled, charter and workforce flights, so planning and advance coordination are essential for anyone traveling to or from the area.
