Sawyer County Airport — Hayward, United States

HYR designates Sawyer County Airport, a small general aviation facility near Hayward, Wisconsin, in the state's heavily forested Northwoods region. The airport primarily serves recreational pilots, seasonal tourists visiting area lakes and resorts, and local residents who rely on private aviation given the region's rural isolation. Hayward is well known for fishing, the Lumberjack World Championships, and its network of lakes, and HYR sees noticeable upticks in traffic during summer tourist season and fishing tournaments. There is no scheduled commercial airline service at HYR, so operations consist mostly of single-engine aircraft, charters, and occasional medical evacuation flights. The airport plays a modest but important role connecting this remote part of northern Wisconsin to the broader regional air network.
