Airport Established in
Heart of Cascade Lake Area
Lebanon Establishment of an airport in the heart of the
Cascade lake region was announced this week by Walter Bowman,
manager of Lebanon's Cascade Airways, and Aaron Ingram,
local lumberman and well known pilot.
The strip near Big lake at the foot of Mount Washington is
eight miles from Santiam June-
tion and about one mile from
the Hoodoo Ski bowl and is the
outgrowth of long laid plans by
Lebanon airmen to establish ac
cess by plane the heart of the
Cascade fish and game area.
After negotiations with the
forest service in Salem, permis
sion was obtained to clear a
4900 foot stretch through the
heavy timber about a quarter of
mile from the lake front.
Leveling operations have since
been underway on the 400-foot
wide strip and before snow
blanketed the region, Piper
Cubs were landing on the 4900
foot runway.
Only other transportation to
the area is over a rough moun
tain road.
The field has notable safety
features, the Lebanon airport
operator points out, with both
approaches to the landing strip,
lying east and west, entirely
open. A plane can arrive at the
field on clear days, Bowman
said, from either direction Uy
flying at an altitude of only
4600 feet with entire safety.
Construction will begin next
summer on an administration
building at the east end of the
runway, the operators announce,
and pilots will be able to con
struct their summer cabins
nearby.
A limited number of member
ships in the field will be made
available, granting holders free
landing rights and similar con
cessions. Until initial construc
tion costs are met, however, for
others a nominal landing fee
will be charged.
The new port is directly on
the Lebanon to central Oregon
flying route may be reached in
20 to 33 minutes of most points
In the central Willamette val
ley, and an equally short time
from central Oregon centers.
Within walking distance of
Big Lake are the four small Pat-
Jen lakes and three Hidden
lakes. During the summer the
state game commission plants
these smaller bodies of water
with eastern brook and rain
bows. Heavy stocking is also
carried on in Big Lake.
The project of a mountain
airport was initiated by fliers
at the Lebanon field who wanted
a recreation spot somewhere in
the hills where a man with a
$700 Cub could find as much
enjoyment as a pilot who owned
a $12,000 ship.
Oregon's youngest and most
unique airport in the heart of
the Cascades appears to be the
answer.
