Site has many obstacles and they are growing in size and numbers, but it is still rewarding because it creates variety of conditions good to sharpen all skill levels. Don't expect easy soaring, or even easy soaring conditions. It could be easy soaring at times, but those days are fewer as trees grow bigger.

Open meadow, 30 degree hill, lightly covered in grass, shrubs. Side landing near top after soaring or top landing or shrubby meadow to left at bottom off of golf course. The golf course below is not an option; the golf course management do not tolerate landings on the course when open, so winter only. Google Maps or GPS. It's in Hamilton, Ontario at the eastern end of Lake Ontario. It's above King's Forest Golf Club. The take off is 50m E from Mohawk Rd. E and Mountain Brow Blvd. intersection.
