Beachburg Airport

Cessation of private operations. Beachburg Airport was a privately owned and registered aerodrome (its former official identifier was CPB2). The closure was not due to a major event but was likely the result of a decision by the private owner to no longer maintain or operate the facility as an airfield. This is common for small private strips and can be due to the sale of the property, the owner's retirement or death, or the high cost of maintenance and insurance.

The site has been fully converted back to private agricultural land. Current satellite imagery of the coordinates (45.697577, -76.837821) clearly shows that the former runway is now an overgrown field, likely used for growing hay. While the faint outline of the runway is still visible from the air, there are no signs of aviation activity or infrastructure like hangars or markings. The property appears to be a private farm and residence.

Beachburg Airport was a registered private general aviation aerodrome. It served as a local hub for recreational pilots in the Whitewater Region of Renfrew County, Ontario. The facility consisted of a single turf/grass runway, oriented approximately 13/31, with a length of about 2,600 feet. Its operations were limited to small, light aircraft, such as single-engine Cessnas or Pipers, used for personal and recreational flying. It held local significance for the pilots who used it but was not a commercial or transport airport.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Beachburg Airport. The land is privately owned and has been repurposed for agricultural use. Re-establishing an aerodrome would require significant investment and regulatory approval, which is highly unlikely given its previous status as a small, private strip.
