Landing Zones





Landing zones are available on the moraine directly in front of launch between the lake and the green pastures. There is a small road that will lead you down to the lake or back to the tramway so no shuttle is needed. The first green grassy pastures at the base of Howard just past the treeline are also an easy option, but a shuttle will be needed.



The old landing zone at Wallowa Lake State Park is currently restricted and not allowed. Do not land there!

The launch is 3,550 feet above the lake!
