Gun Lake Airport (formerly CBH3) is a closed airfield located in Gold Bridge, BC. The strip is currently serving as a private heliport with a small shed, along with a pad and fueling station.
There is a soft wide sandy strip with ATV ruts at the lake end. Plenty of room to get in and out. It’s about a 1km west down to Gun Lake. Take the P42 eUTV and while you’re there, check out the railcar cabin and dock on the shore.
The strip is available for recreational bush pilots and backcountry campouts and will accommodate large parties (including those on xbox). A hanger and restroom station have been added for seasonal residents.
On a ridge to the southeast overlooking a small lake is a members only lodge accessible only by helicopter. Hike down from the lodge to Plateau Pond and you’ve got friends in the DHC-2 camping and fishing on the shore. Bring some bear spray though. They found a fresh kill down there the other day.
JULY 2023 UPDATE!
There have been alot of visitors lately, so there's more going on around the strip. The runway is now re-registered (CBH3) with parking and helipad spawns. New areas of interest have been marked with POI's.
There's a mysterious smoke plume coming from a ridge to the north. Some city folk went to practice their uphills in a Maule and never came back. We just assumed they flew in to Gold Bridge at the River Sliver afterwards.
Also, a separate pair of campers sent a distress call over comms. They said they were here on their honeymoon and taking their 172 out to somewhere they could be alone. There was a lot of screaming and we couldn't quite make out what was going on. You might want to investigate.
