Our Recommendation

The left side offers superior views of the vast Hudson Bay coastline during departure and the expansive Big Trout Lake system upon approach to Wapekeka.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Hudson Bay Shoreline

Aerial views of the massive inland sea's edge and the coastal tundra landscape during the initial climb.

ðŸĶĒ

Wetland Habitats

Vast stretches of marshes and peatlands that serve as critical breeding grounds for migratory waterfowl.

🐟

Big Trout Lake

A massive, deep-water lake that dominates the landscape as you approach the Angling Lake area.

🏘ïļ

Wapekeka Settlement

A clear view of the remote community and its airstrip nestled within the northern Ontario wilderness.

Sit on the left to capture the scale of Big Trout Lake during the descent. Morning flights are ideal for photography as the sun will be behind you, highlighting the vibrant blues of the subarctic lakes.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
ðŸ›ķ

Severn River Estuary

The mouth of the historic Severn River as it drains into the Hudson Bay near the starting point.

ðŸŒē

Boreal Forest Edge

Witness the transition from the flat, treeless tundra to the hardy coniferous forests of the Canadian Shield.

❄ïļ

Permafrost Ponds

Unique thermokarst lakes and patterned ground formations caused by freezing and thawing cycles.

ðŸĶ…

Remote Muskeg

Untouched stretches of boggy wilderness where sharp eyes might spot movement from local wildlife like caribou.

The right side provides a continuous view of the Severn River's winding path. Polarized sunglasses are highly recommended to reduce water glare from the thousands of small ponds dotting the landscape.
