Lake Houston
Immediate views of the San Jacinto River feeding into this major Houston-area reservoir.
Lake Livingston
One of the largest lakes in the state, offering expansive vistas of water meeting the deep woods.
Piney Woods
Experience the continuous, lush green carpet of the East Texas forest region from a low cruising altitude.
Lake Palestine
Located just southwest of Tyler, this massive lake marks the final approach phase of the journey.
Morning flights on the right side offer the best lighting for photography of the lake surfaces. Because this route is exceptionally short (often under 45 minutes), keep your window shade up from takeoff to landing to see the rapid transition from urban Houston to rural East Texas.
