Getting the Hang Glider in Sons of the Forest

Fortunately, there is a premade Hang Glider just waiting for you to find in Sons of the Forest. In order to get there, you will have to make your way to the middle part of the map. Depending on where you are, you might have to go through or around the large, snowy mountain in the middle of the island.

The Hang Glider can be found directly off the side of this mountain. You will find the Hang Glider sitting near a ledge on the western side of the mountain. You can see a screenshot of its location below.

You will have to ascend the mountain slightly, so make sure you’re coming from the mountain side of this location and not from the forest side. This will allow you to just walk straight up to the glider instead of having to climb up treacherous terrain.

Once you find the Hang Glider, you can interact with it and immediately take it for a spin off of the ledge. You now have a reliable and quick way of getting around the island in Sons of the Forest.
