Gullrock Lake
Visible immediately after takeoff, this lake marks the start of the rugged journey south from the Red Lake mining district.
Lac Seul Reservoir
A massive, island-dotted body of water that dominates the eastern horizon, showcasing the vastness of the Ontario wilderness.
Boreal Tapestry
Continuous stretches of black spruce and jack pine forests interspersed with ancient granite outcrops of the Canadian Shield.
Sit on this side for morning flights to see the sun glinting off the hundreds of small lakes. The view of Lac Seul is most impressive at the flight's midpoint; keep your camera ready for the maze-like shoreline.

Pakwash Lake Area
A large lake system visible to the west shortly after departure, often surrounded by untouched marshlands.
Forestry Trails
Observe the network of logging roads and clear-cuts that tell the story of the region's primary industries from a bird's-eye view.
Wabigoon Basin
As you descend into Dryden, the landscape shifts toward the fertile clay belt with visible agricultural pockets near the town.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to avoid the glare of the eastern sun. Watch for the transition from dense forest to the more settled agricultural areas as the plane aligns for its final approach into Dryden.
