About Lynn Lake Airport
Lynn Lake Airport is the main air gateway serving Lynn Lake, a remote town in northwestern Manitoba, Canada. The airport sits adjacent to the community and provides scheduled regional flights that connect residents, workers and visitors with Winnipeg and other northern Manitoba centres. The Town of Lynn Lake has owned and operated the airport since it took over full operation from the federal government in 1996.
The airport features a 5,004-foot paved runway, which is the furthest north runway of its type accessible by highway in Manitoba, along with a secondary gravel and asphalt runway. This infrastructure supports year-round regional air service in an area where road access is limited and weather can be challenging.
Lynn Lake is located roughly 1,100 km northwest of Winnipeg and about 320 km from Thompson via Provincial Road 391, where it functions as a regional service centre. Because the airport is adjacent to the town, the short transfer to local accommodation and services is straightforward, with taxis and pre-arranged vehicles providing the main onward travel options.
The compact passenger terminal offers a waiting area and essential services, making it a practical entry point for travellers heading to the lakes, forests and outdoor destinations of northwestern Manitoba.
