Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most immediate and expansive views of the Muskrat Dam Lake system upon takeoff and provides a better angle for the scenic glacial geography of the Canadian Shield during this short hop.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Muskrat Dam Lake

The massive, intricate shoreline of the lake immediately south of the departure point.

🌲

Boreal Canopy

An endless carpet of dense black spruce and tamarack trees characteristic of Northern Ontario.

🪨

Canadian Shield

Ancient granite outcrops and rock ridges that define the rugged subarctic landscape.

🧊

Glacial Estuaries

Small, winding water channels carved by retreating glaciers thousands of years ago.

Sit on the left for the best views of the expansive Muskrat Dam Lake during the initial climb. Because the flight is exceptionally short (often under 20 minutes), keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff. In winter, the frozen lake surfaces create a stark, beautiful white contrast against the dark forest.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🐍

Severn River Tributaries

Meandering waterways that feed into the major Severn River system to the north.

💎

Pothole Lakes

Dozens of tiny, isolated 'kettle' lakes scattered across the wilderness like blue gems.

🏘️

Weagamow Lake Approach

Views of the Round Lake community and the airstrip as the plane banks for landing.

The right side is ideal for spotting wildlife like moose in the marshy areas near the river bends. During sunset flights, this side will catch the warm glow over the wilderness, but be prepared for significant glare if the sun is low on the horizon.
