Which side of the plane to sit from Natashquan Airport (Natashquan) to Kegaska Airport (Kegaska)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular, low-altitude views of the rugged Gulf of St. Lawrence coastline, featuring a labyrinth of granite islands and the deep blue waters of the North Shore.
Archipelago Views
An intricate chain of rocky islets and reefs that define this remote section of the Quebec coast.
Gulf of St. Lawrence
The vast expanse of the Gulf, where you might spot whale spouts during the summer months.
Kegaska Harbor
The isolated fishing community appearing as a cluster of colorful houses against the grey granite.
The Wreck of the Brion
Watch for the rusted remains of the shipwreck located on the shore near the approach to Kegaska.
Hidden Sandy Coves
Small, secluded sandy beaches tucked between the harsh, rocky outcrops of the shoreline.
Sit on the right side for the entire short hop to keep the coastline in view. This flight is very short and low-altitude, so keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff. Late afternoon flights offer a beautiful golden glow on the granite rocks and the 'Brion' shipwreck near the Kegaska landing strip.
Boreal Wilderness
Uninterrupted stretches of dense black spruce and balsam fir typical of the Canadian Shield.
Route 138 Terminus
Spot the famous end of the paved highway in Natashquan, where the road literally stops.
Glacial Kettle Lakes
Thousands of small, tea-colored lakes and ponds carved by ancient glacial activity.
Natashquan River
The winding mouth of this historic salmon river as it flows from the interior to the sea.
Look for the stark transition where the organized grid of Natashquan village gives way to the chaotic, untouched wilderness of the Minganie region. Morning flights provide excellent side-lighting on the dense forest canopy, making the terrain's texture pop.
