Which side of the plane to sit from Cat Lake Airport (Cat Lake) to Round Lake (Weagamow Lake) Airport (Round Lake)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the community of Weagamow Lake upon arrival and showcases several distinct glacial lakes shortly after takeoff.
Zionz Lake
A large, irregular lake located just east of the flight path featuring numerous small, rocky islands.
Severn Watershed
Meandering creeks and swampy muskeg that feed into the major northern river systems of Ontario.
Weagamow Lake Community
Clear views of the houses, docks, and infrastructure of the Round Lake First Nation settlement.
Round Lake Vista
The expansive blue waters of Weagamow Lake, which dominates the horizon during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for photographers wanting to capture the final approach into Round Lake. Watch for the stark contrast between the deep blue water and the dense green forest during the summer months, or the patterns of ice and snow on the lakes in winter.
Cat Lake Shores
Intricate coastlines and the remote settlement of Cat Lake visible immediately after takeoff.
Boreal Horizon
A vast, unbroken sea of spruce and pine stretching toward the Hudson Bay lowlands.
Glacial Striations
Ancient geological grooves etched into the exposed granite of the Canadian Shield.
Choose the left side during midday flights to minimize direct sun glare. Keep an eye out for the complex network of wetlands and small kettle lakes that define the James Bay drainage basin during the early stages of flight.
