| Local Tourism Contacts & Telephone Numbers | There is a page on Wikipedia about this aerodrome http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braeburn_Airport which says:
"Braeburn Airport, also known as the Cinnamon Bun Airstrip, (IATA: N/A, ICAO: CEK2) in the Yukon is adjacent to the Klondike Highway between Whitehorse and Carmacks. It is next to Braeburn Lodge (famous for its oversized cinnamon buns and sandwiches) and near Braeburn Lake. It receives no maintenance and pilots are advised to use caution as there are numerous holes in the runway caused by gophers."
