Gore Bay Manitoulin Airport (CYZE) serves Gore Bay, Ontario, on Manitoulin Island in Lake Huron, offering pilots a paved, lit runway system well suited to VFR arrivals amid the island's lakeside scenery. It has no instrument landing system, so approaches are flown visually or with basic radio aids.
Gore Bay Manitoulin Airport, identified by the ICAO code CYZE, lies at Gore Bay on Manitoulin Island, the largest freshwater island in the world, set within Lake Huron in Ontario. It is operated by the Gore Bay-Manitoulin Airport Commission Inc and functions as the principal air gateway to the island, making it a natural stop for visiting pilots exploring the area's lakes and shoreline.
The airport sits on Manitoulin Island near the town of Gore Bay in Ontario, Canada, at coordinates 45.8842 N, 82.5683 W and an elevation of 610 feet. It serves as the main aviation access point to the island for both local and visiting traffic.
Gore Bay Manitoulin has two paved, lit physical runways. The primary runway, 11/29, is 5488-5489 feet long with a hard surface and runway lighting, suitable for a wide range of aircraft. A secondary crosswind runway, 05/23, measures 2294 feet, also hard-surfaced and lit. There is no ILS at the field.
The airport broadcasts an AWOS on 128.725 MHz for automated weather information. A remote communications outlet (RCO) to London Radio operates on 126.7 MHz for flight service contact. Airport advisory and unicom traffic is handled on 122.8 MHz, which serves as both the ATF (Aerodrome Traffic Frequency) and UNICOM.
