Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panoramic view of the vast Attawapiskat Lake system immediately following departure, showcasing the intricate archipelago and the rugged beauty of the Canadian Shield.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🛶

Attawapiskat Lake

Uninterrupted views of the massive lake's eastern reaches, featuring a maze of rocky islands and hidden coves.

🌲

Boreal Canopy

An endless expanse of dense black spruce and tamarack forest, representing one of the world's largest intact ecosystems.

🌊

Remote Waterways

Intricate patterns of natural canals and wetlands that connect the primary lake systems of Northern Ontario.

Sit on the left for the best view of the departure climb over Attawapiskat Lake. Since these flights are often on smaller aircraft at lower altitudes, the detail of the shoreline is exceptional. Morning flights provide excellent lighting for the left side as the sun rises to the east, illuminating the lake's surface.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🌅

Eabamet Lake Shoreline

Vibrant views of the destination lake's southern shores during the final descent into Fort Hope.

💎

Glacial Kettle Lakes

Numerous small, perfectly circular ponds created by receding glaciers, dotting the landscape like blue jewels.

🏗️

Fort Hope Settlement

An aerial perspective of the Eabametoong First Nation community and its unique layout along the water's edge.

The right side is ideal for capturing the approach into Fort Hope. If flying in the late afternoon, the right side may experience some glare, so a window seat with a clean pane is essential for photography. Watch for the distinct change in water color near the river inlets.
