NNW-facing ridge (Blue Mtn) near Danielsville/Lower Towamensing, PA, managed by Water Gap Hang & Para Gliding Club under NPS permit; 950 ft AGL. Ideal wind 325-360 at 10-15 mph (hang gliders tolerate up to ~20 mph base / 10 mph gust; paragliders lower ~5/10/15 with 5 mph gust). Acceptable cross arc ~315-020. HAZARDS: powerlines at 350 ft AGL ~1000 ft from LZs and ~1000 ft west of launch; risk of entering ABE (Allentown) airspace east of launch; blowback/turbulence with winds 10+ mph from 315 or less; severe LZ turbulence possible with winds 10+ mph from 340 or more. ACCESS: hike-in carry-only, 3/4 mile with ~500 ft climb. RATING: H3/P3 minimum; H2/P2 only with substantial high-site (>500 ft AGL) experience and radio supervision by a same-wing-type monitor. No "first highs." At least one site monitor must be present to fly.
