Description
Ed Levin County Park in Milpitas, California, offers a popular paragliding site suitable for pilots of all levels, from beginners to advanced. The park features multiple launch points, each with specific rating and experience requirements. The main launches are at 300 feet, 600 feet, and 1750 feet above the landing zone, with additional training slopes at 40, 50, and 60 feet.
The site is known for good thermalling conditions and the potential for cross-country flights. There are no trees or significant obstacles at the launch points, making it a safe and accessible location for paragliding. However, caution is advised when launching from the 1750-foot Back Side launch due to potential rotor conditions.
