I love flying low in small general aviation aircraft, but it is not very safe or smart as altitude is you're friend if a problem develops. If I am 1500' above ground and my engine quits, I have at least "some" time to pick a safe spot to land off airport. If you're engine quits when down low over trees/water/rough terrain....time to say you're prayers.
That said, flying along on the rural countryside deck at 60 or so mph on a nice summer evening in a Cub or in my ultralight is a very pleasant experience (as is diving down to a runway at 170 or so for a low pass in something a bit bigger/faster)
