Newton Field Airport Runway View

A Remote Backcountry Airstrip

Newton Field is a small public-use airport tucked into the North Woods of western Maine, near the Canadian border. Its single gravel runway and modest apron serve bush pilots, floatplanes and recreational aviators exploring the lakes and wilderness around Jackman.

Floatplanes and the North Woods

The frame is often graced by a parked floatplane, a fixture of this lake-rich region where amphibious aircraft ferry anglers and hunters into remote camps. Beyond the airfield, an unbroken wall of spruce and fir forest defines the horizon.

The Town of Jackman

Jackman is a tiny gateway community in Somerset County, long a hub for logging, snowmobiling and four-season outdoor recreation. The airport is a vital lifeline for a town surrounded by hundreds of square miles of working forest and pristine lakes.
