No dedicated club/USHPA site guide, paraglidingEarth detail page, XContest record, or pilot report could be found for a free-flight launch named "Don Pedro Lake" — treat as an obscure/unverified site. All values are INFERRED, not authoritative. Terrain: ~807 ft MSL in the low western Sierra Nevada foothills above Don Pedro Reservoir (La Grange/Moccasin, CA), low rolling grass/oak hills. The paraglidingEarth orientation hint lists nearly every octant (N,NE,E,SE,S,SW,W,NW), which typically means the launch orientation was entered loosely rather than measured; ideal arc was therefore centered on the prevailing afternoon up-valley/up-slope sea-breeze flow that dominates Central Valley/Sierra foothill sites (roughly W to NW). Likely a thermic/foothill or small training-style site. Hazards to expect for this terrain: light early-day winds backing to a stronger afternoon valley breeze, thermal gusts and dust devils on hot days (Central Valley summers are very hot — late spring/fall or early-morning and late-afternoon glass-off are best), lee-side rotor if wind comes from the back octants (E/NE), and potential overdevelopment/strong cycles midday. Access/ownership unknown — much shoreline land is managed by Don Pedro Recreation Agency; verify landing zones, private property, and any required permission/rating locally before flying. Best to confirm with Central California / Sierra-area pilots or the nearest USHPA chapter before committing.
