Lake Hartwell
A massive reservoir straddling the South Carolina and Georgia border, notable for its jagged shoreline.
Lake Lanier
Located north of Atlanta, this popular recreational lake is easily spotted from cruising altitude.
Tensaw River Delta
A stunning labyrinth of rivers, creeks, and marshes just north of Mobile Bay, known as America's Amazon.
Mobile Bay
Expansive views of the bay's shipping channels and the Gulf of Mexico on the horizon during descent.
Downtown Mobile
Clear views of the RSA Battle House Tower and the industrial port as the plane maneuvers for landing.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the western sun. During the final approach into MOB, keep your camera ready for the transition from the dense green delta to the deep blue of the bay. Look for the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park near the bridge.
