Rideau Lakes Aerodrome is a small airstrip in so far as the number of aircraft permanently based at the airfield year round, currently 4 aeroplanes. Despite that, with a 3200' strip, mostly grass with an area near the middle made up of a mix of grass and gravel, it's a lovely place to fly into and spend the morning enjoying the company of aviators and like minded people along with local residents who enjoy a visit and a hearty breakfast served by the flying club members.
