The Smoke Stack
The massive 250-meter Hudbay minerals stack is the most prominent landmark in the region upon departure.
Lake Athapapuskow
A massive, island-studded lake that defines the landscape between Flin Flon and Cranberry Portage.
Saskatchewan River Delta
As you approach The Pas, witness the winding channels and silty waters of one of North America's largest inland deltas.
The right side is best for seeing the industrial heart of Flin Flon and the vastness of Athapapuskow Lake. Since this is a very short, low-altitude flight, keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff. In winter, look for ice fishing shacks dotting the frozen lake surfaces.

Flin Flon Townsite
View of the unique town built directly onto the rugged volcanic rocks of the Canadian Shield.
Clearwater Lake
Known as Atikameg Lake, its remarkably clear, turquoise waters are visible as you descend toward The Pas.
Boreal Tapestry
A dense expanse of spruce and pine forests interspersed with smaller kettle lakes and muskeg.
Sit on the left for better views of Clearwater Lake Provincial Park during the descent. Morning flights provide excellent lighting for the deep blue hues of the water. Look for the distinct 'line' where the rocky shield gives way to the flatter wetlands.
