What we look for at Rock Island Training Hill

Wind direction

SE (135°) → SW (225°)

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

Ideal speed

5–12 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.

A small training/scratch hill near Rock Island in Le Flore County, SE Oklahoma, in Buffalo Mountain Flyers / Oklahoma Paragliding territory. Best guess is a south-facing slope that works on light southerly wind. No site-specific guide exists, so the direction and limits are rough — verify access and conditions with Buffalo Mountain Flyers or Oklahoma Paragliding before flying.
