YXL β WNN
Which side of the plane to sit from Sioux Lookout Airport (Sioux Lookout) to Wunnumin Lake Airport (Wunnumin Lake)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Sioux Mountain landmark during takeoff and the expansive, island-dotted waters of Lake St. Joseph mid-flight.
Sioux Mountain
The most prominent local landmark visible shortly after departure from YXL.
Lake St. Joseph
A massive, complex lake system featuring hundreds of tiny islands and deep blue channels.
Pipestone River
Aerial views of the rugged wilderness surrounding this remote Provincial Park waterway.
Wunnumin Lake Arrival
A clear view of the remote community settlement nestled on the lake shore during the descent.
The morning sun illuminates the water features beautifully from this side. Keep your eyes peeled for ice-fishing tracks or snowmobile trails on the frozen lakes during the long winter season.
Boreal Forest Canopy
Dense, unbroken stretches of the Canadian Shield's iconic evergreen forests.
Pelican Lake
Direct views of the bustling water-taxi and floatplane activity near Sioux Lookout.
Muskeg Patterns
Intricate wetland swirls and peatlands that create unique geometric patterns from above.
Frozen Mosaic
In winter months, the landscape transforms into a stark, high-contrast white-and-grey wilderness.
Choose this side for evening flights to witness the sunset reflecting off the myriad of small kettle lakes. In winter, this side is excellent for spotting the Aurora Borealis on late-night legs.
