Wollaston Lake Airport guide

Wollaston Lake Airport (ICAO CZWL) is a small provincial aerodrome in northern Saskatchewan. It sits beside Wollaston Lake, one of the largest lakes in the province, and serves the Northern Settlement of Wollaston Lake and the Hatchet Lake Denesuline First Nation. The 2021 census counted 96 people in the settlement, and the First Nation has more than 1,270 residents.

The airport has one paved runway, 17/35, measuring 3,793 feet (1,156 m) by 75 feet. The Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure operates it. In August 2026 the federal government announced $11.6 million for runway, taxiway and apron improvements.

Road access is limited. Highway 995, an unpaved road of about 5 km, runs from the airport to the Wollaston Lake barge landing. The barge ferry crosses the lake in summer and an ice road replaces it in winter, so the airport carries much of the community's passenger traffic, including trips for health care and supplies. Rise Air is the scheduled carrier and plans six flights a week on its winter schedule, linking the airport with Points North, La Ronge, Prince Albert and Saskatoon. Charter operators have also used the field. No published passenger counts exist for the airport.
