Which side of the plane to sit from Fort Hope Airport (Fort Hope) to Ogoki Post Airport (Ogoki Post)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a more consistent view of the winding Albany River system and the dramatic water confluences as you approach Marten Falls.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🐍

Albany River Meanders

Stunning views of the massive Albany River as it carves intricate oxbow loops through the northern landscape.

🌿

Muskeg Patterns

Intricate, swirling patterns of peatlands and bog orchids that look like natural abstract art from the air.

🛶

Ogoki-Albany Confluence

The powerful meeting point of the Ogoki and Albany rivers just before arriving at the airstrip.

The right side is best during midday flights as the sun provides better illumination for the river's silt patterns. Look for white-water rapids along the river bends which indicate the rugged Canadian Shield geology.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Eabamet Lake North

Deep crystalline waters and the jagged shoreline of the Eabametoong First Nation territory upon takeoff.

🌲

Unbroken Boreal Canopy

A dense, emerald sea of black spruce and tamarack stretching toward the Hudson Bay Lowlands.

🕳️

Glacial Kettle Lakes

Dozens of small, perfectly circular lakes formed by melting ice blocks from the last glacial period.

Keep your eyes peeled for the distinct change in vegetation as the elevation drops slightly toward the lowlands. Use a polarizing filter if photographing to cut through the water's surface reflection.
