Which side of the plane to sit from Muskrat Dam Airport (Muskrat Dam) to Bearskin Lake Airport (Bearskin Lake)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more direct view of the Severn River's main channel and the picturesque approach into the Bearskin Lake community, providing a better perspective of the destination's geography.
Severn Waterway
Follow the primary water route that has historically connected these remote First Nations communities.
Bearskin Lake Settlement
A clear view of the community buildings and residential areas as the aircraft aligns for landing.
Bearskin Lake Shoreline
The rugged, rocky edges of Bearskin Lake itself, often dotted with small boats during the summer months.
Sit on the right for the best view of the community upon arrival. Since this is a very short flight (approx. 20 minutes), have your camera ready immediately after takeoff. The low altitude of this regional hop provides excellent detail of the terrain.
Severn River North
Aerial views of the winding Severn River as it meanders through the dense Northern Ontario wilderness.
Boreal Canopy
An endless carpet of Black Spruce and Tamarack trees, characteristic of the isolated subarctic forest.
Glacial Kettle Lakes
Dozens of small, perfectly round lakes created by retreating glaciers thousands of years ago.
Keep an eye on the riverbanks for wildlife like moose, especially during the early morning or late evening flights. In autumn, the tamarack trees turn a vibrant gold, creating a stunning contrast against the dark evergreens.
