Our Recommendation
7.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a more expansive view of the western portions of North Spirit Lake and provides a direct visual of the Poplar Hill community and its waterfront during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

Western Spirit Lake

Extensive views of the main body of North Spirit Lake as the plane reaches its low cruising altitude.

🏘️

Poplar Hill Settlement

A birds-eye view of the remote First Nation community as the aircraft turns toward the runway.

🛶

Interconnected Waterways

Marvel at the complex network of streams and glacial 'kettle lakes' that dot the muskeg terrain.

The right side is ideal for capturing the scale of the community on descent. Because these flights are operated at low altitudes by small turboprops, sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the ground is completely unobstructed.

Left Side Highlights
7.1
💧

Eastern Spirit Lake

Scenic views of the rugged eastern inlets and bays of Spirit Lake immediately after takeoff.

🌲

Boreal Tapestry

An unbroken view of the dense black spruce and tamarack forests typical of the northern Canadian Shield.

🪨

Precambrian Shield

Spot ancient granite outcroppings and glacial erratic boulders scattered across the landscape.

Choose the left side for morning flights to see the sunlight glinting off the numerous small interior ponds. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife like moose in the marshy wetlands between the trees.
