About Wollaston Lake Airport
Wollaston Lake Airport is the main air access point for Wollaston Lake and the Hatchet Lake Denesuline First Nation in northern Saskatchewan. Because the community is reachable primarily by air for most of the year, the airport plays a vital role in connecting residents, businesses and essential services with larger centres.
Located about 2.5 kilometres west of the community, the airport has one runway, 17/35, and a single apron. Regional carriers use small terminal facilities, fuel storage and hangar space to support scheduled and charter flights.
Ground access varies by season: a local road links the airport to Wollaston Lake, an ice road operates in winter, and the Wollaston barge ferry provides a summer crossing. These connections support community travel and resupply in a remote northern setting.
The airport has received federal funding for infrastructure upgrades, including rehabilitation of Runway 17-35, Taxiway A and the apron, plus improvements to runway lighting and electrical systems. These investments help keep year-round air service safe and reliable in challenging northern conditions.
