Top of the range for paragliding (any rating) — switch wings up top to compare. Hang gliders hold roughly 10 mph more than paragliders.
East-facing Lake Michigan clay bluff (~80-130 ft) at North Lake Park, Port Washington. Coastal soaring site that works on southeast lake winds; the spot just past the last parking lot is the one to use. Trees ring the landing, so come in high and cross the road to the open field. East-component winds are uncommon here, so flyable days are rare, and the modest bluff needs an established afternoon lake breeze to sustain.
