Davin Lake Airport

Common Complaints

• No Commercial Facilities: As a private airstrip, there are no typical commercial airport amenities such as extensive terminal buildings, shops, restaurants, or public transportation connections.
• Limited Public Information: General traveler reviews, security wait times, and detailed customs/immigration procedures for the public are not applicable or available, as it serves a private lodge. Customs clearance, when required for international flights, would involve contacting Canadian Border Services in advance, a process distinct from that at a commercial international airport.
• Remote Location and Limited Services: The lodge itself is located 263 km north of La Ronge, accessible via 230 km of well-maintained gravel highway, and cell service is sporadic along the highway. This highlights the remote nature of the destination, implying limited external services.
• Charter Flight Cost: While the lodge can assist with charter arrangements, most guests find charter flights to be cost-prohibitive.

Davin Lake Airport (CKW6) serves its specific purpose efficiently as a private gateway to the Davin Lake Lodge. Travelers flying into CKW6 should anticipate a wilderness airstrip experience directly linked to their lodge stay, rather than the conveniences of a public commercial airport.
