Channing Hill (access to west and east) is 2 miles SE of Blue Rock. Park at 800 Channing Circle in front of the park. Ideally, please park a little distance for the park to spread out the parking and not clog up any one part of the residential area. Take the stairs up and head to the back of the park and walk up the hill on the center path. You will hike up to the top and over the hill.
Pilot Requirements: Although Channing East is an unregulated site, USHPA membership is recommended so that USHPA waivers provide added assurance to land owners. P3 rating is strongly encouraged. P1s and P2s are welcome if they have an instructor present. P2s may fly solo at Channing if they have had at least one day of instruction at the site.
