Which side of the plane to sit from Kenora Airport (Kenora) to Dryden Regional Airport (Dryden)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most iconic views of the region's massive lake systems, specifically Lake of the Woods and Eagle Lake, which define the geography of Northwestern Ontario.
Search flights from YQK to YHD
Lake of the Woods
A spectacular view of one of Canada's most famous lakes, known for its 14,500 islands and rugged shoreline.
Kenora Townsite
Aerial perspective of the town nestled against the northern edge of the lake, including the iconic 'Husky the Muskie' landmark area.
Trans-Canada Highway
The winding ribbon of Highway 17 serves as a constant landmark connecting the small communities between Kenora and Dryden.
Eagle Lake
A massive, multi-lobed lake mid-flight that is a premier destination for fishing and outdoor recreation.
Wabigoon Lake
The primary water body bordering Dryden, offering beautiful reflections during the descent into YHD.
The right side is the 'water side' of the flight. For the best photography, afternoon flights are ideal to avoid direct glare. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to capture the sprawling islands of Lake of the Woods. In autumn, this side offers a vibrant display of yellow larches and deciduous trees against the deep blue water.

Black Sturgeon Lake
Visible immediately after takeoff from Kenora, this intricate lake features numerous narrow channels and islands.
Boreal Canopy
A continuous expanse of dense spruce and pine forest stretching toward the horizon, typical of the Canadian Shield.
Shield Outcrops
Glacially-scarred granite ridges and pink quartz veins are visible through the gaps in the forest canopy.
Minnitaki Lake North
On final approach, the northern fingers of the surrounding lake systems provide a serene water-dominated landscape.
Sit on the left for better lighting during early morning flights as the sun rises from the southeast. This side offers a deeper look into the uninhabited wilderness of the northern Ontario interior. Look for the distinct patterns of logging roads that crisscross the dense woods.
