Hang Gliding

---

MOUNT MAGAZINE - Hang gliders have flocked to Arkansas's highest point for many years. Rising high above the Petit Jean River Valley and Arkansas River Valley, 2,753-foot Mount Magazine has near perfect conditions for flight. Hang gliders must register each day at the park visitor center and be Class 4 certified to fly alone. A Class 3 flier can fly with a Class 4. Parking is available at the hang gliding launch site.

MOUNT NEBO - Hang gliding is a popular activity from two launch sites atop 1,350-foot Mount Nebo: Sunrise Point at the east end of the mountain and an area behind the park visitor center. Call the park for current conditions. There are two hang gliding events held annually at the park providing wind and weather allow: a spring fly-in during late April and a summer fly-in near the end of August. Hang gliders must register at the park visitor center and show proof of advanced pilot certification.
