Runway 18 is equipped with a Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) and a Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) located 3.5 nautical miles from the airport. Both runway orientations 18 and 36 have GPS based approaches charted as RNAV (GNSS). The airport also has Direction Finding equipment (VHF-DF) that can be used to locate aircraft through their transmission frequency.
Further details can be obtained in the Canada Flight Supplement published by NavCanada.

| Aprons & Taxiways |
| The public apron at the south end of the airfield was expanded in 2006 and is now over 2.1 hectares (5.2 acres) is size and designed to a Pavement Load Rating (PLR) rating of 9, capable of supporting loads of 90,720 kilograms (200,000 pounds). There are 10 aircraft tie-downs located along the pavement edge and another 12 in a grass parking area adjacent to the apron. There is a fee levied for aircraft parked on the public apron or tie-down facilities overnight.
Both taxiways Alpha and Bravo at the north end of the field serve a number of commercial aviation businesses and private hangars and are restricted to aircrafts with wingspans less than 24 metres (79 feet).

| Frequencies & Clearances |
| Muskoka operates on a Mandatory Frequency (MF) within five nautical miles of the airfield. This Remote Communications Outlet (RCO) is operated by NavCanada who provides the Remote Aerodrome Advisory Service (RAAS) through their Timmins Flight Service Station (FSS) referred to as Timmins Radio on frequency 122.3.
Directional Finding (VDF) can be obtained through Timmins Radio on frequency 122.3 for pilots that are unsure of their location.
IFR departure clearances can be obtained once the aircraft engines are running by contacting Timmins Radio on frequency 122.3.
USA and other 'out-of-country' pilots should be aware that flight plans are activated in Canada upon their departure time on the plan. Therefore, delayed departures will activate Search and Rescue activities after about 45 minutes. Pilots should update or cancel their flight plans when departure delays are experienced.

| Airfield Lighting |
| Runway 18/36 and the Public Apron have three stage medium intensity edge lights controlled by a type-K ARCAL on 122.3 and a Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) on runway 18.
The north and south taxiway systems (including alpha and bravo) are delineated with Retro-reflective markers.
The Aerodrome Beacon is not controlled through the ARCAL system. The Beacon is activated by a photocell in the same manner as the aerodrome obstruction lighting on the antenna and the anemometer towers.
Automatic natural gas generators support the air terminal building, the FBO fuel farm, and the airfield lighting system, so Muskoka Airport is never affected by electrical power outages.
