Oriskany Airport

The airstrip was privately owned and almost certainly served a specific hunting and fishing lodge or outfitter ('pourvoirie' in Quebec). Its closure is attributed to economic reasons, specifically the cessation of operations of the associated lodge. Maintaining a remote airstrip is costly, and without the primary business to support it, it was abandoned.

The site is completely abandoned and derelict. Satellite imagery confirms the single gravel/dirt runway is unserviceable, heavily overgrown with trees and vegetation. Any associated buildings are likely in a state of disrepair or have been removed. The land is part of the Réserve faunique des Laurentides, a protected wildlife reserve managed by the Quebec government (Sépaq).

The airport had no major historical significance in a national or military context. Its importance was purely local and utilitarian, providing fly-in access for tourists and sportsmen to a remote lodge in the Laurentian Mountains. Such private airstrips were common for facilitating access to Quebec's wilderness for recreational purposes before road networks were expanded or as a premium travel option for guests.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening this airstrip. The likelihood of it ever being reactivated is virtually zero. The significant cost of land clearing, reconstruction, and meeting modern regulatory standards, combined with the lack of any economic driver and its location within a protected wildlife reserve, makes reopening unfeasible.
