Poplar Hill Airport guide

Poplar Hill Airport (ICAO CYHP, Transport Canada identifier CPV7) serves Poplar Hill First Nation, an Anishinaabe fly-in community in Kenora District, northwestern Ontario, near the Manitoba border. The community is about 120 km north of Red Lake, and the airfield sits roughly 1.1 km east of it at an elevation of 1,095 ft.

The airport has a single clay and gravel runway, 13/31, 1,069 m (3,508 ft) long. It publishes no passenger statistics. The Ontario Ministry of Transportation operates the aerodrome.

Poplar Hill has no all-season road, and a winter road is open only part of the year, so the airstrip carries most passengers, mail, food and freight. Wasaya Airways serves the community from its Red Lake base, and Sioux Lookout is the other regional hub for connections south. Schedules change by season, and small aircraft often carry tighter baggage allowances than mainline flights, so confirm flight times and limits with the airline before travelling.
