Lac Gobeil Water Aerodrome

The specific reason for closure is not officially recorded. Given that CA-1128 was a private registration for a water aerodrome, the closure was almost certainly due to the cessation of the private or small commercial activity that required it. Common reasons for such closures include the property owner no longer operating aircraft, the sale of the associated property (like a lodge or cottage), or the operator finding it economically unviable to maintain the official registration with Transport Canada.

The site of the former aerodrome is Lac Gobeil itself. Current satellite imagery shows the lake and its shoreline are used for recreational purposes, with several private cottages and docks visible. There is no remaining dedicated aviation infrastructure such as a commercial dock, hangar, or fueling station. The site has effectively reverted to a natural recreational lake with private residential use.

The aerodrome's significance was purely local. It served as a registered private seaplane base on Lac Gobeil, providing air access for floatplanes and amphibious aircraft. Operations would have been very limited, likely supporting recreational activities such as fly-in access to private cottages or a small hunting/fishing lodge. It may have also been used for local tourism or forestry patrol, given the region's geography. It was never a public airport or a significant hub for transportation.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Lac Gobeil Water Aerodrome. Re-establishing an officially registered aerodrome would require a new proponent to file an application with Transport Canada and meet all current regulatory, safety, and environmental standards. There is no public information to suggest any such initiative is underway.
