⛔ This site is closed to flying. Club site-info page lists the Heavener south-southeast launch as CLOSED at the landowner's request, and warns pilots flying closed sites may be arrested for trespassing. Details ↗
The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.

Top of the range for paragliding (any rating). Switch wings up top to compare. Hang gliders hold roughly 10 mph more than paragliders.
SSE-facing grassy slope on the ridge above Heavener Runestone Park, a Buffalo Mountain Flyers site. When open it flew only in smooth SE-to-S wind of 8 mph or less (5 mph if gusty). The club currently lists this SSE launch as CLOSED at the landowner's request, so it's off-limits without renegotiated permission. Access is steep over a rock formation with a clay patch that needs 4WD when wet, and the LZ is a cattle pasture with cows, tall grass, and a barb-wire fence.
Borderline only 4pm–6pm — best around 8am: 4 mph ENE, gusts 5. All borderline — fly it with a close eye. Outside the window, light enough for a sledder.
