Big Trout Lake Expanse
Witness the scale of one of Ontario's largest northern lakes immediately after takeoff.
Island Archipelagos
Numerous small, uninhabited islands dot the northern sections of the route.
Boreal Canopy
Densely packed spruce and larch forests create a vibrant green carpet in summer and a white wonderland in winter.
Arctic Fen Formations
Unique patterns of muskeg and peatlands visible as the flight moves inland.
Sit on the left for the best views of the lake's northern reaches. During winter, look for the ice roads carved across the frozen surface. The low morning sun provides excellent contrast on the landscape's textures.
