Which side of the plane to sit from Stephenville Airport (Stephenville) to Deer Lake Airport (Deer Lake)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a direct look at the stunning Long Range Mountains and the unique geological formations of the Lewis Hills, providing a more rugged and dramatic Newfoundland landscape than the coastal views on the left.
Lewis Hills
The highest point in Newfoundland, featuring rare peridotite rock that gives the mountains a distinct orange-brown hue.
Long Range Mountains
Fly parallel to the northernmost section of the Appalachian Mountains, featuring dramatic glacial-carved plateaus.
Newfoundland Wilderness
Dense boreal forests and endless networks of small ponds and bogs characteristic of the interior.
Grand Lake
The largest lake on the island of Newfoundland, visible in the distance as the plane turns toward the airport.
Marble Mountain
Look for the distinctive ski runs of Marble Mountain near the city of Corner Brook during the descent.
The right side is superior for morning flights to see the sun illuminating the mountain faces. Focus your attention mid-flight to see the stark, treeless plateaus of the Lewis Hills, which look like a lunar landscape.
St. George's Bay
Expansive views of the sheltered bay immediately after taking off from Stephenville.
Port au Port Peninsula
A unique limestone peninsula known for its distinct geography and hidden coves visible to the west.
Bay of Islands
As you approach Deer Lake, look for the deep fjords and islands surrounding the city of Corner Brook.
Gulf of St. Lawrence
Uninterrupted horizons over the open water, especially scenic during late afternoon or sunset flights.
Opt for the left side on evening flights to capture the sun setting over the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Keep a close eye out early in the flight for the jagged coastline of the Port au Port Peninsula.
