Grand Forks is located in south central British Columbia between Castlegar to the east, and Osoyoos to the west. The area is know as the Boundary region and is a popular tourist area for those liking the outdoors. In summer there is a multitude of places within an hour drive for such recreational activities as fishing, hiking, boating and of course, golf. What is striking about Grand Forks when you enter along highway 3, is it is a beautifully kept city, with it's mature trees, greenery and well maintained heritage buildings. It is an area rich in history with it's 'turn of the century' mines and the old Phoenix townsite. To top it off Grand Forks is bound by 2 rivers which converge in the middle of town, the Granby to the east and the Kettle to the south. These rivers bring a great deal of pleasure to the townsfolk and tourists alike, both having numerous sandy beaches and great swimming holes.
The airport is owned and operated by the City of Grand Forks. It is a 4,300 aspalt runway and is equipped for 24 hour access for emergency flights.
