Cheboygan County Airport is a public use airport located two nautical miles (3.7 km) west of the central business district of Cheboygan, a city in Cheboygan County, Michigan, United States. It is owned by the Cheboygan Airport Authority. It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021, in which it is categorized as a basic general aviation facility.[2] The airport is accessible from Levering Road and is close to US Highway 23.

Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned SLH by the FAA and no designation from the IATA[3] (which assigned SLH to Sola Airport on Vanua Lava, one of the Banks Islands, in Torba Province, Vanuatu[4]).
