Which side of the plane to sit from Timmins/Victor M. Power (Timmins) to Sudbury Airport (Sudbury)?

The left side offers the most dramatic views of the Canadian Shield's geography, particularly the massive meteorite-formed Lake Wanapitei on the approach into Sudbury.

Boreal Wilderness
Dense stretches of Northern Ontario's spruce and pine forests stretching toward the horizon.
Night Hawk Lake
A sprawling, shallow lake just southeast of Timmins known for its early gold rush history.
Lake Wanapitei
A massive, perfectly shaped meteorite impact crater that is now one of the region's largest lakes.
Sudbury Basin Edge
Visible ridges marking the edge of the second-largest known impact structure on Earth as you descend.
Sit on the left for the best view of Lake Wanapitei's circular shoreline during the descent. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, providing clear, high-contrast views of the dense forest and hidden lake systems. In autumn, this side offers spectacular views of the changing deciduous patches amidst the evergreens.

Mattagami River
The winding river system that flows north through Timmins, visible shortly after takeoff.
Kenogamissi Lake
A long, narrow waterway popular for recreation that follows the flight path southward.
Canadian Shield Outcrops
Precambrian rock formations and rugged ridges that define the harsh northern landscape.
Mining Operations
Occasional glimpses of active open-pit mines and industrial infrastructure scattered throughout the woods.
The right side is excellent for spotting the intricate network of rivers and smaller glacial lakes. During sunset flights, the western horizon provides a beautiful backdrop to the rugged terrain. Keep your eyes peeled for the Big Nickel or the Superstack if the pilot circles for a southern approach into YSB.
