About Douglas Lake Airport
Douglas Lake Airport is a small general aviation airport serving the Douglas Lake community in the Nicola Valley of British Columbia, Canada. It is closely associated with Douglas Lake Ranch, one of the largest working cattle ranches in North America, and supports private, ranch and recreational flying in the Thompson-Okanagan region.
Located adjacent to Douglas Lake, the airport has a single asphalt runway, 08/26, approximately 4,600 feet long, and sits at an elevation of about 823 metres. It operates primarily under visual flight conditions, with no scheduled commercial airline service and no customs facilities.
The airport is situated roughly 51 km east of Merritt and about 93 km south of Kamloops, reached by road via Douglas Lake Road and nearby Highway 5A. This rural location makes private vehicle travel, pre-arranged transfers and local ranch connections the main ways to continue onward.
Facilities at the airport itself are limited, with no aviation fuel service, so travellers typically plan supplies and services in Merritt or Kamloops. Despite its small scale, the airport remains a practical access point for the Douglas Lake Ranch area and surrounding countryside.
