BLUE RIDGE PPG

Woodstock · North Georgia · Powered Paragliding

Fly the Blue Ridge

A paramotor community around Woodstock and the North Georgia hills. Dawn patrols, shared sites, and people who will fly with you after you are trained.

EST. 2026

A flying community, built on the ground.

Fly together

Dawn patrols and calm evenings. Group flights and camp-and-fly weekends when the weather agrees — Woodstock to the North Georgia hills.

Share the sites

Launches stay open because of landowner relationships, airspace awareness, and respect for neighbors. Exact LZs stay inside the community.

Keep each other sharp

Weather calls, kiting, gear checks, honest debriefs. The useful part of this sport is a group that talks before anyone launches.

Where we fly

Blue Ridge & the Toccoa Valley

Ridgelines stacked to the horizon and river fog burning off below — the flight that gives this community its name.

N 34.86° W 84.32°ELEV 1,750 FT

Blairsville valley

Wide valley floor under Brasstown Bald, big fields, and forgiving morning air.

N 34.88° W 83.96°ELEV 1,900 FT

Ellijay & the Cartecay

Apple orchards, river bends, and foothill terrain that rewards a slow low pass.

N 34.69° W 84.48°ELEV 1,300 FT

Dahlonega foothills

Where the mountains meet the piedmont — gold country from five hundred feet up.

N 34.53° W 83.98°ELEV 1,450 FT

Exact launches and LZs are shared inside the community. Most of our sites fly on private land with landowner permission — keeping that trust is how they stay flyable.

FIRST FLIGHT

New to paramotoring?

A wing, a motor on your back, a grass field. Powered paragliding is simple gear and serious judgment. Good instruction is the whole difference.

We’re a community, not a school — we don’t teach first flights. We will point you to instructors we trust, let you come kite with us, talk gear, and be the people you fly with after you’re trained.

An honest path in

  • Come to a fly-in and watch a dawn launch. You’ll know soon enough if this is for you.
  • Train with an instructor you trust. We’ll share names. USPPA-rated programs are a reasonable place to start — we are not a school and not a USPPA chapter.
  • Buy gear after training, with your instructor’s input. Used markets are full of impulse purchases.
  • Then come fly with us.
