What we look for at Town of Prairie du Sac

Wind direction

SW (225°) → NW (315°)

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.

No club guide or pilot reports found for a free-flight launch here. The Sauk Prairie area near the Wisconsin River is low, open terrain known mainly for powered paragliding, not ridge soaring. Direction and access are unverified, and Sauk-Prairie Airport is about 2 miles away, so check airspace and confirm locally before flying.
