Which side of the plane to sit from Webequie Airport (Webequie) to Lansdowne House Airport (Lansdowne House)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the expansive Attawapiskat Lake and provides a clearer perspective of the Lansdowne House settlement upon the final approach.
Wapikopa Lake
A beautiful stretch of water featuring jagged coastlines typical of the Canadian Shield geology.
Pipestone River
Visible to the west, this historic river route was vital for traditional travel and trade in Northern Ontario.
Lansdowne House Settlement
As the plane descends, get a bird's-eye view of the isolated community situated on the shores of Attawapiskat Lake.
Attawapiskat Lake Panorama
Breathtaking views of one of the largest lakes in the region, known for its deep blue waters and numerous rocky outcrops.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun illuminates the community and the lake during the descent. Be sure to have your camera ready specifically for the final 5 minutes of flight when the plane banks over the water towards the runway.
Winisk Lake System
Excellent views of the sprawling Winisk Lake immediately south of Webequie, showcasing the intricate network of islands.
Boreal Wilderness
Vast, uninterrupted stretches of the Canadian Boreal Forest, which turns into a vibrant tapestry of greens and yellows in the fall.
Attawapiskat River Tributaries
Look for the winding channels and wetlands that feed into the major river systems of the Hudson Bay Lowlands.
Glacial Lake Patterns
Distinctive landforms and small kettle lakes carved out by retreating glaciers during the last ice age.
Choose this side for early morning flights to catch the soft light reflecting off the Winisk Lake system. In winter, this side offers great views of the white, snow-covered river arteries winding through the dark forest.
