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.
