Which side of the plane to sit from Sioux Lookout Airport (Sioux Lookout) to Round Lake (Weagamow Lake) Airport (Round Lake)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more direct view of the sprawling Lac Seul water system and the complex labyrinth of glacial lakes and rivers that define the Kenora District.
Search flights from YXL to ZRJ
Lac Seul Reservoir
A massive, island-studded body of water that dominates the first third of the flight.
Untouched Taiga
Infinite expanses of black spruce and tamarack forests typical of the Canadian Shield.
Pipestone River
Dramatic views of the winding river systems that connect the remote northern communities.
Remote Outposts
Small, isolated hunting and fishing lodges visible as tiny specks in the wilderness.
Sit on the left during morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. This side provides the best angle to see the reflection of the sky on the thousands of small 'kettle' lakes. In autumn, the deciduous trees among the pines turn bright gold, creating a stunning patchwork effect.

Minnitaki Lake
Crystal clear waters visible immediately after departure from Sioux Lookout.
North Caribou Lake
One of the largest and most prominent lakes in the region, visible mid-way through the flight.
Glacial Eskers
Long, winding ridges of sand and gravel deposited by retreating glaciers thousands of years ago.
Aurora Potential
On late-night winter flights, this side faces away from the sunset, offering dark skies for northern lights.
Ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the 'golden hour' illumination over the rugged terrain. During winter months, watch for the winter road networks—temporary ice roads that are the only ground link to these remote northern regions. Keep your camera ready for the approach into Round Lake for views of the community docks.
