About Pickle Lake Airport
Pickle Lake Airport is the main air access point for Pickle Lake and the surrounding region in Northwestern Ontario. The small airport supports scheduled regional flights and serves as a base for travel to remote fly-in communities, fishing and hunting lodges, and mining camps in Ontario's far north.
Located just southwest of the community, the airport is reached along Highway 599, which terminates at Pickle Lake. North Star Air and Wasaya Airways provide scheduled connections to Thunder Bay and Sioux Lookout, linking the town to larger regional centers and onward domestic travel.
The airport has a single asphalt runway and a compact passenger terminal where check-in, security screening, and baggage claim take place in one convenient building. Parking, taxi, car rental, and pre-arranged transfer options help travelers continue to Pickle Lake and nearby destinations.
Because it is one of Ontario's most northerly highway-accessible airports, Pickle Lake plays an important role for residents, workers, and visitors travelling into remote parts of the province.
