KIF â WNN
Which side of the plane to sit from Kingfisher Lake Airport (Kingfisher Lake) to Wunnumin Lake Airport (Wunnumin Lake)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most scenic perspective of the winding Pipestone River and the vast, undisturbed Boreal Shield wilderness typical of Northern Ontario.
Pipestone River
Observe the winding curves of this historic waterway as it snakes through the dense northern forest.
Boreal Canopy
Dense clusters of black spruce and tamarack create a thick green carpet across the landscape.
Glacial Potholes
Dozens of small, unnamed 'kettle' lakes formed by receding glaciers sparkle in the sunlight.
Wetland Mosaics
Expansive areas of muskeg and peatlands showing intricate natural patterns and water drainage.
Sit on the left for better views of the river systems. Since this is a very short 'puddle jumper' flight at low altitude, keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff. In autumn, the tamarack trees turn a brilliant gold, making the wetlands particularly striking.
Kingfisher Lake Village
A clear view of the community's layout and local infrastructure immediately following departure.
Wunnumin Lake Shore
The rugged western shoreline of Wunnumin Lake becomes visible during the final descent.
Winter Road Paths
During colder months, you can clearly see the cleared paths through the woods used for ice roads.
The right side is excellent for seeing the departure and arrival communities. Because the flight is only about 15-20 minutes, avoid getting distracted by electronics. Best viewed in the early morning or late afternoon when the low sun angle highlights the topographical textures of the Canadian Shield.
