Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the Adirondack High Peaks and the iconic Lake George, providing the most dramatic elevation changes and water features on this route.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🐎

Saratoga Springs

Look for the historic horse racing track and the lush grounds of the Saratoga Spa State Park.

💎

Lake George

The 'Queen of American Lakes' stretches out beneath you with its numerous islands and clear water.

🏔️

Adirondack High Peaks

Stunning views of Mount Marcy and the surrounding mountain range, the highest points in New York.

🇨🇦

St. Lawrence River & Canada

Direct views of the international border and the Canadian shoreline of Ontario upon arrival.

The right side is best for morning flights as the sun illuminates the eastern slopes of the Adirondacks. During the autumn months (late September to mid-October), this side offers unparalleled views of the vibrant foliage over the High Peaks region.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Great Sacandaga Lake

A massive V-shaped reservoir visible shortly after departing the Albany area.

🌲

Western Adirondack Park

Expansive views of the protected wilderness area, characterized by dense forests and small ponds.

⛰️

Tug Hill Plateau

The distinct rising terrain to the west, famous for its intense lake-effect snow patterns.

🚤

Upper St. Lawrence River

Distant glimpses of the Thousand Islands region as the plane begins its descent into Ogdensburg.

The left side is preferable during late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers a broader view of the St. Lawrence River valley during the final approach. Keep an eye out for the Black River winding through the valley below.
