Neahkahnie is a challenging paragliding site located on the Oregon Coast, USA. The launch is from a cliff facing southwest, just below a parking area on a curve of Highway 101. This site is known for its difficulty and is rarely used, primarily for soaring. The launch is extremely steep and requires absolute confidence in your kiting and wing control skills. Any misstep can lead to an unintended launch. Ideal conditions include sufficient wind to easily inflate your glider. It's advisable to hike 50 meters south along the highway to get an accurate wind reading. The site can be launched in south or southwest winds. Be cautious of wind wrapping around and creating misleading conditions. If you land on the beach at Manzanita, you can meet your ride near a road descending from Highway 101. Hiking back involves navigating through private property, which is not permitted. Flying north may lead you to land at Short Sands, Falcon Cove, or Arch Cape, where turbulence is common. Similarly, southeast or west winds can cause turbulence on the lee side of outcrops. Landing on rocks below can be hazardous, so aim for the sand. The launch area is part of Oswald West State Park. While flying here, avoid getting caught off the cliff with a blown launch. Consider the alternate launch site, which could be improved with a gentler slope.
