Dawson City Airport sits in Dawson City. Field elevation is 1,215 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 02/20 is 5,006 ft long and gravel surfaced. No control tower is published. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement or local procedures say otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 2,215 ft MSL based on the field elevation, but verify before flight if you need an exact local target. Airport use is restricted to daylight hours only except for emergencies. That matters here because this is not a night-stop field.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Plan to verify services directly with the airport operator before arrival. The published remarks also say prior permission is required three business days in advance for fixed-wing takeoff and landing off movement areas. Taxiways D and E are closed from September 15 to March 31. Taxiways B and C are occasionally closed during snow removal operations. This is a good airport to brief carefully before you launch, especially in winter conditions and if you need anything beyond a straightforward daylight arrival.
