About Lake Chelan Flyers

Lake Chelan Flyers (LCF) is a nonprofit chapter club of the United States Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association (USHPA) serving pilots, both local and visiting, who fly Chelan Butte. LCF provides ongoing management and maintenance of the Chelan Butte flying site, and serves as liaison between the flying community and the multiple land owning agencies and other parties involved.

The mission of LCF is to promote hang gliding and paragliding in the Lake Chelan area.

Our activities include:

  • Maintaining this website as a resource for pilots and community members.
  • Coordinating with WA DNR and Chelan PUD for continued access to our launches and landings.
  • Site maintenance such as mowing, trimming brush, placing wind indicators, and occasional road repairs.
  • Acquiring and maintaining fire suppression equipment as required at launch by DNR for organized events.
  • Renewing our insurance with RRRG on an annual basis.
