The ParaglidingEarth record documents surface towing in the Mississippi River valley flatlands around Valmeyer and explicitly says the tow location changes with wind direction. Current STL Paragliding sources confirm an active regional crew and multiple tow rigs but do not publish a fixed Valmeyer field. Contact the current crew or a current southern-Illinois USHPA instructor for the lawful tow area, land access, meeting point, and site briefing.

ParaglidingEarth rates north, northeast, southeast, south, and southwest as good and east, west, and northwest as possible, while also stating that the tow location varies with wind. These are regional tow options, not directions guaranteed at this point.

Included under the broadened operator/general-area rule. The legacy record establishes Valmeyer-area PG towing, and current regional sources establish an active tow community, but the current operator does not claim this exact point. PPG remains false because neither the legacy Valmeyer record nor a current source ties powered operation to this area.

Legacy Valmeyer activity-area coordinate. The source explicitly says the tow location changes with wind; the point is not a field entrance, tow start, parking coordinate, access road, or landing zone.

General Valmeyer tow-area pin only. Contact STL Paragliding or a current local instructor for the lawful non-airport operating location; do not use this point for navigation or land access.
