About Siskiyou County Airport
Siskiyou County Airport is a public general aviation airport serving Siskiyou County in far Northern California, with the nearest town being Montague and the county seat Yreka a short drive away. It supports private aircraft, charter flights, medical flights, wildfire operations, and other general aviation activity rather than scheduled commercial airline service.
The airport's military history dates to 1942, when the United States Army Air Forces first leased the site; it served as an auxiliary field and later a dispersal base. The U.S. Air Force returned for a dispersal program from 1962 until the lease ended in 1972, after which the facility continued in civilian use under Siskiyou County.
Located about 3 miles northeast of Montague and roughly 10 miles from Yreka, the airport has a single asphalt runway, 17/35, of about 7,484 feet. This length supports general aviation aircraft, wildfire response aircraft, and larger emergency operations.
The small terminal offers basic passenger amenities, and access to Yreka, Montague, Mount Shasta, and surrounding destinations is by private vehicle, rental car, or pre-arranged transportation. The airport is convenient for general aviation travelers exploring Siskiyou County and the Mount Shasta region.
