This is a summary page of many of the local sites that are either maintained by the Skywacker Club, or are sites that are nearby and regularly flown by our Club. Most of the summaries will have links to take you to more detailed information about the site.
Big Walker Mountain
| Big Walker Mountain is the birthplace of the Skywackers. A 30 mile long NW facing ridge in beautiful country in South Western Virginia (near Pulaski/Dublin/Bland). Many long flights have begun here, which have ended as far away as New Castle and North Carolina. |
Eagle Rock
| Eagle Rock is a new site and perhaps the one being flown most often by Skywackers these days. Located NW of Roanoke, the mountain has launches facing both SE and NW. |
Tobacco Row Mountain
| Tobacco Row Mountain is located near Lynchburg, and has been the starting point for a number of cross country flights over the flat lands to the East. Mainly a NW site, but there is also a lower SE site on the mountain, flown mainly by Paragliders. |
