Wabigoon Lake
Visible immediately after takeoff, this large lake features many small islands and intricate bays.
Eagle Lake
A massive, island-dotted lake that dominates the view during the mid-flight segment.
Lake of the Woods
The northern bays of this world-renowned lake provide a stunning patchwork of water and rock near Kenora.
Boreal Canopy
Dense stretches of spruce and pine forests typical of the rugged Northwestern Ontario landscape.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic water views. Morning flights are best as the sun illuminates the islands from the south. In autumn, the pockets of deciduous trees between the evergreens turn vibrant yellow and orange.

Black Sturgeon Lake
A beautiful, elongated lake located just north of Kenora during the final descent.
