This web site is dedicated to those who live the dream of bird-like flight and to the many, many volunteers who've made Hat Creek Rim a place for that dream to become reality 
Hang gliding and paragliding are both popular at the Hat Creek Rim.  The site has enough room for all who want to fly here and a history of putting smiles on the faces of those who do. While visiting Hat Creek Rim please fly safely and respect the site and other users.  The Map of the Site shows the general layout of the area and includes interactive links to comprehensive information about the site and local services.  Another Topo view map gives you a view of the entire ridge and includes information about flying the highest section of the ridge.  The Site/Flying Information page contains recommended pilot skills and other important information.  There are two launch areas, Main and South, three permanent landing areas, #1,2& Buttonhook, a store, restaurant & campground, consistent summer glass-offs, 2WD roads, unimproved camping in the LZs, and an abundance of other recreational activities in the area.  Enjoy your visit to Hat Creek Rim.
 While in the area, check out the 'The Loop', three destination flying areas, all less than four hours apart (Hat Creek Rim, Lakeview, Or., Woodrat, Or.)  For assistance in planning your flying vacation at the Rim, feel free to contact any of these club members. Use these links for weather and winds aloft information.
