What we look for at Hyner View

Wind direction

W (280°) → NNW (330°)

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

Ideal speed

6–12 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.

Primary HG/PG ramp at the scenic vista, faces WNW out over the West Branch Susquehanna (~1877 ft MSL). Per the Hyner Club: great POST-FRONTAL (NW) flying, and the rounded mountain lets you launch S around to N — best in WNW-NW. Small turbulent LZ near the park entrance (trees + power lines). H3/P3 + Hyner HG Club membership + DCNR authorization; home of the annual Hyner fly-in.
