RUSSELLVILLE — The Central Arkansas Mountain Pilots (C.A.M.P.) at Mount Nebo State Park’s Sunrise Point will host the 11th annual spring fly-in for hang gliders on Saturday and Sunday.
Visit with the hang gliders and learn all about the sport as the pilots fly over the Arkansas River Valley.
Parking for the event will be in the field just across from the Sunrise Point viewing area. There is no admissioncharge, and everyone is invited to attend. Because of the sport’s high dependence on weather and wind, no times will be announced for the flying. However, weather and wind permitting, the pilots will fly throughout Saturdayand Sunday, beginning each afternoon.
The park is south of Dardanelle and Russellville. From Interstate 40, take exit 81, Arkansas 7 South, through the city of Russellville to Dardanelle, turn right onto Arkansas 22 West, then left on Arkansas 155 South and go up the mountain.
For more information, call the Visitor Information Center at (479) 229-3650 or visit www.ArkansasStateParks.com/MtNebo.
