FS2004 Scenery--Simpson Lake (CWSL) in Nunavut, Canada. This was a DEW line I Station in the lower reaches of the Boothia Peninsula, 80 miles south of Taloyoak and 40 miles east of Shepherd Bay. The station was closed in 1963 and the buildings and other items have been removed apart from the garage and some diesel tanks. A NWS automated station was opened there in 1991. The runway is still usable and is just over 3500 feet of gravel 100' wide, aligned 044T/224T, and at 790 feet ASL. There are no lights, signage, or windsock. This is one of the less interesting DEW line stations to visit and walk around. By Roger Wensley.
