Take off from Cleora for a compact, observational flight that drops over the dam, threads creek channels and skirts shorelines to show the lake and its features from a pilot’s vantage. The Everything Tour compresses local landmarks into a single hour so riders see sailing bridges, island clusters and shoreline restaurants without ever leaving their seats.

THE ROUTE

Dam, laps and creek channels

The flight begins with a pass over the dam, drops into the riding area for a couple of laps, then moves through Drowning Creek and out to open water—an uninterrupted sequence of engineered and natural water features.

THE LANDMARKS

Sail Boat Bridge to Bernice: recognizable points from the air

Along the loop the tour crosses Dripping Springs, shoots past Shangri‑La and Sail Boat Bridge, then heads north to the Casino and Bernice—distinct sights that orient the route across the lake.

THE SHORELINE

Islands, channels and restaurants seen from above

On the return the flight skims Blackberry and Snake Islands, offers a wave toward Juan’s Mexican Restaurant, follows Duck Creek into its channel and finishes with a shoreline run back to Ketchum.

What the day feels like

What the hour feels like

A tight, descriptive circuit: an opening climb to the dam, a low pass over riders, a threading through back creeks and a fast cross-lake segment to several named landmarks before a shoreline return — all completed in roughly one hour.
