Which side of the plane to sit from Minneapolis-St Paul International/Wold-Chamberlain Airport (Minneapolis) to Rhinelander Oneida County Airport (Rhinelander)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side typically offers a more dramatic view of the Mississippi and St. Croix River confluence and provides a superior angle for spotting the dense clusters of glacial lakes in the Northwoods upon arrival.

The Confluence
The meeting point of the Mississippi and St. Croix Rivers near Prescott, Wisconsin.
Chippewa Valley
Views of the urban clusters of Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls nestled in the river valley.
Wisconsin River
The long, winding waterway that leads the aircraft toward the Rhinelander area.
Lakeland Region
An incredible density of small glacial lakes, including Boom Lake, appearing during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for photographers looking to capture the 'Land of Lakes' aesthetic. During the final approach to RHI, keep your eyes peeled for the Rhinelander paper mill and the numerous lakefront cabins. If flying in winter, the frozen white lakes against the dark pine forests create a high-contrast landscape.

Excellent views of downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul depending on the departure runway heading.
St. Croix Riverway
The scenic National Riverway that forms the natural border between Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Chequamegon National Forest
Expansive stretches of deep green canopy that turn vibrant shades of orange and red during autumn.
Wisconsin Farmland
The transition from suburban sprawl to the organized geometric patterns of dairy country.
Look out the window approximately 10-15 minutes into the flight to see the St. Croix River. This side is particularly stunning during the last two weeks of September for peak fall foliage. Morning flights on this side avoid the direct glare of the southern sun.
