Cascade Locks State Airport [CZK]

The City of Cascade Locks is in the northwest corner of Hood River County.

 It is approximately 43 miles east of Portland. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife uses water for a salmon hatchery in the town. 



The county as a whole is a top producer of apples, pears, and cherries. Major industries in the county also include health care and manufacturing. Tourism is also popular, and the Columbia River is a premier windsurfing destination. The Cascade Locks Airport is approximately one mile northeast of Cascade Locks, and is situated on a 37-acre lot.




 The Airport is an important asset in regional aerial fire suppression activities. Runway 6/24 provides visual approaches and measures 1,800 feet in length by 30 feet in width. The Airport accommodates an estimated 1,500 general aviation operations annually. There are currently no aircraft based at the Airport. 


Airport Information

The Oregon Department of Aviation owns and operates 28 airports. Of these, nine airports have been designated as warning airports. These airports do not meet normal dimensional standards and have conditions that require specific pilot knowledge. They require special techniques and procedures to use safely and may not be usable by many aircraft under normal conditions.

If you have not flown into Cascade Locks, Crescent Lake, McKenzie Bridge, Owyhee Reservoir, Pacific City, Pinehurst, Santiam Junction, Toledo, or Wakonda Beach recently we encourage you to contact us at (800) 874-0102 to get the latest information on them.

We also encourage you to use the "sign in" boxes we have at some of the state airports. This allows us to better assess the level of use at some of our smaller airports. If you observe any problems at any of the state airports, please let us know so that we can correct the problem as soon as possible.

For specific questions regarding the State Warning Airports, contact ODAV at 800-874-0102 or mail.aviation@ODAV.oregon.gov.
