Green Lake Water Aerodrome

Specific official reason is not documented. Closures of small, specialized aerodromes like this are typically due to economic factors or a change in operational needs. This often occurs when the primary operator (e.g., a local air charter service, forestry company, or tourist lodge) ceases operations or no longer requires a registered water base, leading to its voluntary de-registration with Transport Canada.

The site is no longer a registered aerodrome. The designated water lane on Green Lake is now undifferentiated from the rest of the public lake, which is used for general recreation like boating, fishing, and swimming. While floatplanes can still legally operate on the lake (subject to Canadian Aviation Regulations), there are no longer any dedicated, maintained, or officially recognized aviation facilities at the former aerodrome location.

As a registered water aerodrome, it served as a key local transportation hub for accessing the remote wilderness of northern Saskatchewan. Operations would have consisted of float-equipped aircraft, such as the De Havilland Beaver and Cessna models on floats. It supported regional industries including tourism (fly-in fishing and hunting lodges), forestry services, mineral exploration, and provided general air taxi and private flights to areas inaccessible by road.

There are no known or published plans to reopen or re-register the Green Lake Water Aerodrome. Re-establishing an official aerodrome would be a regulatory process driven by a new commercial or private entity demonstrating a need for a registered base, and there is currently no indication of such a development.
