Which side of the plane to sit from Ogoki Post Airport (Ogoki Post) to Fort Hope Airport (Fort Hope)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more direct view of the Albany River's main channel and a superior perspective of the Eabametoong First Nation community and Eabamet Lake during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Albany River Meanders

Follow the massive, winding curves of one of Northern Ontario's most significant wilderness rivers.

🌲

Boreal Canopy

Dense, unbroken stretches of black spruce and larch characteristic of the James Bay Lowlands.

🏘️

Fort Hope Settlement

A clear view of the remote community of Eabametoong as the aircraft aligns with the runway.

💧

Glacial Kettle Lakes

Scores of small, isolated ponds formed by receding glaciers dotting the landscape.

Request a window seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the ground. On this short westward hop, the left side provides the most interesting landmarks, particularly the community layout. Mid-morning flights are best to avoid the high-noon glare reflecting off the many water surfaces.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🛶

Remote Tributaries

Intricate networks of small streams and creeks that feed into the larger Ogoki watershed.

🦌

Muskeg Peatlands

Unique patterns of northern wetlands and bogs that are home to diverse local wildlife.

🏞️

Shield Topography

Occasional outcrops of the Canadian Shield's ancient granite visible through the forest floor.

The right side is ideal for photographers looking for soft, indirect light, as it faces north. Keep a keen eye out for moose near the marshy edges of the smaller lakes, as these aircraft typically fly at lower altitudes where wildlife spotting is possible.
