What we look for at Shullsburg

Wind direction

NNW (340°) → ESE (110°)

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

Ideal speed

8–15 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.

No verified free-flight guide exists for a Shullsburg foot launch; it shows up only in a site aggregator. This SW Wisconsin Driftless area is low rolling terrain used mainly for powered paragliding, so a soarable ridge here is unconfirmed. Treat direction and access as unverified and check locally before flying.
