Chautauqua Lake
View the southern basin of this 17-mile long glacial lake immediately after departure.
Allegheny Reservoir
Massive 12,000-acre lake with jagged, forested shorelines created by the Kinzua Dam.
Kinzua Dam
One of the largest dams in the eastern US, standing 179 feet tall and regulating the Allegheny River.
Allegheny National Forest
A sprawling 500,000-acre canopy of cherry, maple, and black walnut hardwoods.
This is a very short 'puddle-jumper' flight, often lasting less than 20 minutes. Sit on the left and look out almost immediately to see the reservoir. For the best experience, fly during the fall (October) to see the spectacular foliage colors reflected in the water.

Autumn Canopies
