Location
What we look for at Hager City
Wind direction
SSE (150°) → SSW (210°)
The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.
Ideal speed
8–18 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.
South-facing bluff on the Wisconsin side of the Mississippi across from Red Wing, MN, with a grass launch big enough for a few gliders to lay out. Works as a ridge/thermal soaring site on south winds, roughly SE through SW. It's a private site, so get local permission first, and watch for lee-side rotor when the wind backs off and for limited river-valley landing options. Intermediate terrain.
