Downs Gulch Aerodrome( TC LID : CDV2), is a privately owned aerodrome located 7.5 nautical mile s (13.9 km; 8.6 mi) north of Downs Gulch, New Brunswick, Canada. This aerodrome is near an area of the Restigouche River valley known for its good salmon fishing; consequently, many private and charter aircraft use this strip as a means of accessing nearby lodges in areas such as Larrys Gulch. There is no available parking for aircraft, only a wider turn-around area mid-runway, so all aircraft must depart after dropping off their passengers.
