Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more diverse landscape, featuring the rugged terrain of the Canadian Shield, the stunning north shore of Lake Superior, and the unique limestone formations of the Bruce Peninsula.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Winnipeg Cityscape

Aerial views of The Forks, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, and the downtown skyline immediately after takeoff.

🌲

Lake of the Woods

A vast expanse of thousands of tiny islands nestled within the dense boreal forest of the Canadian Shield.

🌊

Lake Superior North Shore

Dramatic views of the rugged, rocky coastline and the deep blue waters of the largest Great Lake.

⚓

Sault Ste. Marie

A clear view of the international bridge and the historic canal system connecting Lake Superior to Lake Huron.

🏝️

Manitoulin Island

The world's largest freshwater island, featuring its own internal lakes and distinct geological features.

🧗

Bruce Peninsula

Striking white limestone cliffs and turquoise water near Tobermory as the flight crosses into Southern Ontario.

For the best experience, choose a window seat in front of the wing to avoid engine obstruction. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Great Lakes. Look for the distinct color change in the water near the Bruce Peninsula where deep blue shifts to turquoise.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🐍

Red River Meanders

The winding path of the Red River as it flows south through the flat, fertile Manitoba prairies.

🏞️

Isle Royale

The remote wilderness of Michigan's Isle Royale National Park, visible in the middle of Lake Superior.

💧

Lake Huron Horizon

An endless watery horizon looking south across the main body of Lake Huron toward the US border.

🏖️

Goderich Coastline

The scenic 'Prettiest Town in Canada' and the unique circular layout of its central square near the lake shore.

🌽

Ontario Farmland

A vast patchwork quilt of agricultural fields and wind turbines as you approach the London region.

The right side is ideal for catching sunset views if flying in the late afternoon or evening. However, be aware of significant sun glare during midday flights heading southeast. Keep an eye out for the large salt mines near the Goderich shoreline during the initial descent phase.
