No site-specific guide found for "Rock Island Training Hill." Coordinates (35.1923, -94.5428) place it near Rock Island, Le Flore County, southeast Oklahoma, within the Ouachita Mountains region managed by Buffalo Mountain Flyers (USHPA chapter, Talihina OK) and served by Oklahoma Paragliding — likely a low training/scratch hill rather than a mountain launch. Wind window inferred from the paraglidingEarth orientation hint (SE, S, SW octants); ideal arc ~135-225 deg (wind FROM the south sector), marginal/cross edges ~112-247. Speed ranges are training-hill / paraglider conservative defaults informed by general BMF regional guidance, which advises PG pilots fly only smooth winds (roughly =8 mph) with gusts =5 mph, and warns that winds aloft >15 mph at 2000 ft MSL can produce wave rotor/turbulence off the Kiamichi Mountains and that evening winds can spike as high as 30 mph near dark. As a small training hill, expect gentler, more laminar conditions with light south-quadrant breeze; best in steady mid-day to late-afternoon flow before evening gradient builds. No explicit numeric site data, hazard list, or rating/access info was located — treat all values as rough inferences. Verify with Buffalo Mountain Flyers (buffalomountainflyers.org) or Oklahoma Paragliding (okparagliding.com) before flying.
