Winisk Lake Basin
Spectacular views of the deep blue Winisk Lake immediately after takeoff from Webequie.
Boreal Canopy
An endless expanse of dense black spruce and tamarack forest stretching toward the horizon.
Nibinamik Watershed
Glimpses of the complex lake systems near the Summer Beaver (Nibinamik) community to the south.
Winter Ice Roads
During winter months, follow the winding white trails of the ice road network carved through the bush.
Sit on the left for the best view of Webequie's unique island setting as the plane climbs. In the morning, this side will be sun-drenched, which is great for seeing the vibrant greens of the muskeg but may cause glare for photography.
