Access notes
PGE supplies the launch point and current 2026 flight tracks corroborate active hike-and-fly use. No current club-maintained access contract was found, so verify the legal trail/road, land manager, parking, fire status, and LZ locally before travel.
Site rules
  • Verify current land ownership and legal access before each trip; do not cross private parcels, orchards, locked gates, or closed fire roads.
  • Use leave-no-trace hike-and-fly practices and keep trails, roads, residences, and emergency access clear.
  • Secure a legal non-airfield LZ and retrieve before launch; current flight-track evidence is not landowner permission.
  • Do not use the site during wildfire, smoke, closure, high-wind, overdevelopment, or incompatible valley-flow conditions.
  • Check current airspace, TFRs, NOTAMs, weather, and communications before flight.
Direction notes
No current authoritative reusable direction set was verified.
Safety notes
  • Sparse public operating detail means route, launch surface, wind sector, LZ, obstacles, and emergency access require a local briefing.
  • Mountain thermals, rotor, gust fronts, wildfire, trees, cliffs, roads, powerlines, orchards, and remote retrieval are material hazards.
  • A current flight track proves activity, not reusable access or suitability for a given pilot.
Additional notes
Expanded current-use public hike-and-fly record; retained without inventing a club contract or private-field authorization.
