YXL → ZPB
Which side of the plane to sit from Sioux Lookout Airport (Sioux Lookout) to Sachigo Lake Airport (Sachigo Lake)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the sprawling Lac Seul reservoir immediately after takeoff and provides the best perspective of the setting sun over the vast Boreal canopy on afternoon flights.

Lac Seul
Witness the massive, intricate shoreline of one of Ontario's largest reservoirs shortly after departing Sioux Lookout.
Boreal Wilderness
An endless green carpet of dense spruce and pine forest stretching to the horizon with no visible road access.
Windigo Lake
A beautiful remote lake situated mid-route, often appearing crystal clear against the surrounding dark forest.
Western Horizon
Ideal for evening flights to catch the dramatic colors of the sunset reflecting off thousands of small unnamed ponds.
Choose a window seat behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the 'Land of a Thousand Lakes.' In winter, the landscape transforms into a stunning white mosaic, but early morning flights might experience glare; afternoon is best for this side.

Lake St. Joseph
A massive, island-filled lake located to the east of the flight path, known for its complex geography.
Severn River Headwaters
Watch for the winding, serpentine patterns of the river systems that drain north toward Hudson Bay.
Remote Outposts
Occasional glimpses of isolated hunting camps and small airstrips that serve as lifelines for the northern interior.
Muskrat Dam Area
As you approach Sachigo Lake, the terrain becomes flatter and more dominated by muskeg and peatlands.
The right side is excellent for morning flights to avoid the direct sun. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the rocky Canadian Shield to the lower-lying Hudson Bay Lowlands terrain as you head further north.
