About Flight Park State Recreation Area

Flight Park is a Utah State Parks site run in partnership with the Utah Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association. Its bluff is used by flyers of many skill levels for training and social gatherings, and it is recognized internationally as a leading place to learn both paragliding and hang gliding. The park also has a model aircraft area for radio-controlled planes and helicopters, and camping is limited to designated spots at the top of the bluff. Commercial activities such as races, tournaments, and paid photography require a Special Use Permit.
