shows o winter maintenance. Lookig to see if it is open at all in the winter. Will check cfs or notams.

During the second world war, Gananoque (pronounced "gan-an-AH-kway") was a relief landing field for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) No. 31 school in nearby Kingston. It has had little modification since, and still maintains the classic BCATP triangular shape (with three runways so that taildraggers could always land into the wind) and, I believe, some of the original World War II structures.

There is a lot of skydiving at Gananoque, so it's important to keep a sharp eye out if you're landing here.
