## Description

The "Russ Beach" name attached to Smiths Falls-Montague Airport (YSH) recalls the local aviators who shaped this eastern-Ontario field, today a general-aviation and flight-training base. It carries no scheduled passenger or cargo service; air shipments for the Rideau Canal region are handled through Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier (YOW), about 60 km to the northeast. Smiths Falls itself is known for major food-processing and, more recently, cannabis production, whose goods travel by road on Highways 7 and 416. Private flying, recreational aviation and occasional business charters make up the traffic here. For freight forwarders, YSH is a charter reference point rather than a cargo address.
