This Airport has gone under major changes in the last three years since the new owners took over.Its very well groomed and has a paved strip plus a grass strip.Lets not forget the water for the floatplanes.Always something to see and they also added Fly Boys outdoor grill the food is exceptional.They also put in new washroom facilities with showers for anyone wishing to camp onsite.Its close to Casino Rama.The new owners are continually improving and are very gracious hosts and would welcome all visitors.
This airport is a busy floatplane hub with specialized hydroplane flying school on site. Lots of them are flying in the vicinity, and landplanes are a secondary activity at Orilla. Runway is ok, though quite beaten and with a pronounced slope westwards. Taxiways are all gravel - careful with your prop! FBO is very well maintained, there is a little snack house with cute patio, and overall Orilla looks like a busy and interesting place to visit - apart from the beautiful water scenery.
