Tobermory Airport (CNR4) is a small seasonal aerodrome on the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario, serving the town of Tobermory from a single hard-surfaced runway. Operated by the Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula, it is a useful VFR stop for pilots exploring Georgian Bay and the Bruce Peninsula, with fuel, tie-downs and an unattended UNICOM frequency.
Tobermory Airport, identified as CNR4, is a small general-aviation aerodrome serving the town of Tobermory at the northern tip of the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario, Canada. It is owned and operated by the Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula and functions as a seasonal itinerant field, notably supporting ORNGE air ambulance operations and search-and-rescue tasking by the Ontario Provincial Police. For a simulator pilot, it offers a compact, scenic destination surrounded by the waters of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay.
The airport lies about 2.2 nautical miles southeast of the town of Tobermory, just off Highway 6 on Warner Bay Road. It sits at the northern end of the Bruce Peninsula, with Georgian Bay to the east and Lake Huron to the west. The field is uncontrolled, operating with an aerodrome traffic frequency rather than a staffed air traffic control unit.
Tobermory Airport has a single physical runway, 12/30, measuring 3150 feet with a hard surface and runway lighting.
The aerodrome traffic frequency, used as UNICOM, is 122.8 MHz (callsign UNIC). There is no instrument landing system, and no other navaids are published for the field.
No published circuit height, joining procedure or noise abatement restriction is available for Tobermory Airport; the runway is fitted with automatic operating runway lights, which pilots can activate for arrivals and departures outside staffed hours.
The airport is readily identified by its position just west of Highway 6 on Warner Bay Road, close to Tobermory and the surrounding waters of Georgian Bay and Lake Huron, which provide useful landmarks when inbound from either the north or south along the peninsula.
Tobermory Airport operates seasonally, from May to early October, with no winter maintenance provided; it is staffed during daylight hours in summer and six days a week during the shoulder season. Facilities include indoor and outdoor tie-downs, two small hangars, an airport office building, washrooms, and a fuel station selling Avgas and 100LL. There is no formal helipad, though helicopters occasionally land near the parking area, and the field supports itinerant traffic including ORNGE air ambulance flights and search-and-rescue operations.'
