Fly in spa / resort

Post by digits_ »

Hi all,

are there any nice spas/resorts where you could land a wheel plane, preferably in the prairies? Or alternatively, an airport very close to the spa?

I found a few in BC and Ontario, but nothing in the prairies soo far.

Thanks,
digits

Unfortunately, the runway at Deerhurst is closed permanently, so it's just Elmhirst and Killarney that I'm aware of.

Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, CJS4. 2,954 ft. paved runway oriented 13/31. Located 7 miles ENE of the city. A taxi will pick you up. Phone 306-631-2706. The city of Moose Jaw has a hot spring, casino and spa hotel, plus tours of Al Capone's under ground tunnels that connect to his network of prohibition era "bitnesses". The city of Moose Jaw has a couple of good museums as well. Canada's RCAF Jet Demonstration team "Snow Birds" are based just south of the city, at CYMJ. https://www.templegardens.sk.ca/index.p ... RQEALw_wcB. Only fly to this aerodrome in good to very good VMC. DO NOT fly to CJS4 aerodrome in marginal WX conditions.

Watrous, Saskatchewan, CKU7, 07/25, a 2,500 foot long clay/gravel airstrip. This is a clear sky, calm wind aerodrome. Unless of course you are a crop sprayer... The airstrip is located equidistant from the spa and town, approx 4 miles east of Manitou Beach, known as Canada's "Dead Sea", as the adjacent Manitou Lake has a high salt content. The 4-Star rated hotel, spa and restaurant are superb. The massages are to die for. Mike's Beach Bar, across the street from the spa resort hotel is a 4.5 Star rated pub. A taxi will pick you up. Phone 306-917-9998. Watrous has a good Home Hardware, and a very good barber, which is located in the centre of town. haittps//www.watrousmanitou.com/portfolio-items/accommodations/ Tires need balancing?
