Our Recommendation
7.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most direct views of the expansive Muskrat Dam Lake upon departure and the complex island chains of Sachigo Lake during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Muskrat Dam Lake

A stunning panoramic view of the primary lake basin immediately after takeoff from MSA airport.

🏔️

Shield Rock Outcrops

Glacial scarring and granite ridges of the Canadian Shield are highly visible from the low cruising altitude.

🏘️

Sachigo Lake Settlement

A clear view of the remote community infrastructure and the airport terminal as the plane banks for its final approach.

Sit on the right for the best perspective of the landing sequence. This route is often flown at very low altitudes (below 10,000 feet), providing exceptional detail of the terrain. Morning flights provide excellent side-lighting for photographing the lake's texture.

Left Side Highlights

🛶

Severn River Meanders

The southern banks of the Severn River show intricate water patterns winding through the dense spruce forests.

🌿

Muskeg Wetlands

Observe the unique peatland ecosystems and bog patterns typical of the Hudson Bay Lowlands transition zone.

🌲

Boreal Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the Canadian Shield's southern boreal forest, stretching toward the Windigo Lake region.

Watch for the shifting colors of the muskeg in autumn; the proximity to the water table creates vibrant reds and yellows. Since the flight is extremely short, have your camera ready immediately after the landing gear retracts.
