IMTRHI

Our Recommendation
7.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a superior view of the high-density 'Northwoods' lake regions and the pristine wilderness of the Nicolet National Forest, benefiting from northern lighting that reduces sun glare.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🛶

Spread Eagle Chain of Lakes

A stunning and unique cluster of interconnected lakes located just west of Iron Mountain.

🌲

Nicolet National Forest

A massive expanse of protected forest that dominates the horizon with deep greens and vibrant autumn colors.

🏞️

Pine River Scenic Waterway

The dramatic oxbows and bends of the Pine River as it snakes through the Wisconsin wilderness.

🦅

Moen Lake Chain

A beautiful series of lakes seen during the descent, signifying the approach into the Rhinelander region.

Sit on the right for the best photographic lighting, as you will be looking north away from the sun. This route is exceptionally short (often under 20 minutes), so keep your window shade up from the moment of takeoff. Late September to early October offers spectacular views of the changing fall foliage, which is world-class in this corridor.

Left Side Highlights
6.7
🌊

Menominee River Border

The winding river marking the natural boundary between Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Wisconsin.

🏚️

Florence Mining District

Historic iron mining landscapes and open pits visible in the Florence County area shortly after takeoff.

🌲

Peshtigo River Headwaters

Dense clusters of hardwoods and pines forming the beginning of the rugged Peshtigo River state forest lands.

The left side faces south, meaning you may experience significant sun glare during midday flights. However, during the final approach into Rhinelander (RHI), this side often provides a clearer view of the Rhinelander city center and the Paper Mill if landing on Runway 27.
