What we look for at Little Gap

Wind direction

NW (325°) → N (360°)

The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.

Ideal speed

10–15 mph

Ceiling · Paragliding

≤ 19 mph base · gusts ≤ 23

Top of the range for paragliding (any rating). Switch wings up top to compare. Hang gliders hold roughly 10 mph more than paragliders.

NNW-facing Blue Mountain ridge near Danielsville, ~950 ft AGL, managed by the Water Gap Hang Gliding Club under NPS permit. Ideal wind 325-360 at 10-15 mph; blowback and LZ turbulence build once winds move outside that arc. Hazards include powerlines near the LZs and Allentown airspace east of launch. Carry-in 3/4-mile hike with ~500 ft climb. H3/P3 minimum (H2/P2 only with high-site experience and radio supervision), no first-highs, and a site monitor must be present.

Window data compiled from watergapclub.org, public site guides and club resources.
