Kidd Creek Mine
One of the world's deepest base-metal mines, featuring massive open pits and industrial infrastructure.
Remi Lake
A large, popular recreational lake near Moonbeam, known for its distinct shape and sandy beaches.
Groundhog River
A wide, powerful river crossing that serves as a major tributary in the Hudson Bay drainage basin.
Spruce Falls Mill
The sprawling pulp and paper mill that dominates the Kapuskasing skyline upon arrival.
Sit on the right side for the best chance to see the Kidd Creek metallurgical site just north of Timmins. This is a very short flight (approx. 25-35 mins), so look for landmarks immediately after the gear retracts. In winter, the frozen lakes create stunning geometric white patterns against the dark forest.
