Located at an elevation of 1720 feet mean sea level (MSL), the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local region and supporting transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 1720 ft MSL suggests a moderate terrain environment that can experience variable weather conditions typical of British Columbia's interior regions.
