McKenzie Bridge State Airport [00S]

Located within the Willamette National Forest, the McKenzie Bridge State Airport provides access to northeastern Lane County.

The area around the Airport is primarily mountains and forest, with several State parks located along State Route 126, following the McKenzie River. The area is popular for hunting, fishing, and boating. The Airport provides access to these recreational areas, including a campground across the highway from the Airport. The remote Airport also acts as an emergency landing strip and as a forest fire fighting base of operations. The Airport handles an estimated 400 general aviation operations annually.

All of these operations are itinerant. There are no aircraft based at the Airport. McKenzie Bridge State Airport is located south of State Route 126, approximately three miles east of the community of McKenzie Bridge, near the McKenzie River. In 1965, McKenzie Bridge State Airport was acquired by the State from the U.S. Forest Service on a permit basis. The Airport's turf runway, Runway 6/24, is 2,600 feet long by 90 feet wide, has no lighting, and is a visual runway.

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.
