Flight Park State Recreation Area
Flight Park State Recreation Area
Flight Park State Recreation Area is recognized around the world as one of the best training sites for both hang gliding and paragliding. The Recreation Area is managed jointly by the Utah Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association and Utah State Parks and Recreation. Flight Park has been in use since 1927 and these days sees about 700 pilots per year launch from the mesa. About 30% of those pilots are not from Utah.
Flight Park is open year round, dawn to dusk (weather permitting) and is free to the public. No camping is available. To get there: get off the I-15 at exit 288, go to the east side of the highway and turn south on the frontage road. Go about 2.5 miles to a dirt road just past the construction buildings (sign says "Point of the Mountain Flight Park") and turn east. Follow the dirt road to the parking area at the top of the mesa. There's a new restroom and information kiosk at the parking area.
