So long as the lake is frozen, this is an easy launch for learning to fly. A few minutes hike from the parking lot, wings have lots of room to be laid out and there is little bush to get in the way.

Cómo llegar

Head to Riverdale and Lewes Blvd and turn right on Nisutlin Drive. At the fish ladder, turn left on Chadburn Lake Road. You will see a parking areas on the left at the top of the first large hill. Be careful of the blind corner if turning left. This takes than than then minutes and overlooks Schwatka Lake.

Meteo

Winter and spring only while the lake is frozen.

Comentarios

The Whitehorse Tower MUST be contacted prior to launch. Ridge soaring here is possible and makes a decent speed soaring site in higher wind. However, the Whitehorse Tower MUST be contacted prior to launch. Failure to do so will result in loss of the site. This is a good training location. The Whitehorse Tower MUST be contacted prior to launch.
