Big Trout Lake Basin
One of the largest lakes in Northern Ontario, dominating the horizon as the plane approaches the destination.
Fawn River Meanders
The winding path of the Fawn River as it flows northwards through the remote wilderness.
Kitchenuhmaykoosib Islands
A cluster of small, forested islands visible within the eastern arm of Big Trout Lake during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for viewing the sheer scale of Big Trout Lake. As this is a very short flight, usually under 20 minutes, watch the right window early for the Fawn River. During the summer, the deep blue of the large lake contrasts sharply with the green canopy, while autumn offers a brief but brilliant display of yellow larch trees.

Kasabonika Lake Shores
Aerial views of the community of Kasabonika and the surrounding dense boreal forest immediately after takeoff.
Asante Lake
A significant water body located south of the flight path, showcasing the region's complex hydrology.
Peatland Mosaics
Patterns of muskeg and bogs that characterize the wetland terrain between the two northern communities.
On the left, keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff to capture the community of Kasabonika. The morning light provides excellent contrast for the peatlands and small ponds that dot the landscape. In winter, look for the distinct ice-fishing trails carved into the frozen surfaces of the smaller lakes.
