Frequent Launch Sites
CTBA Club Flights, and many individual adventures, often begin at one of a few customary launch sites. These sites have adequate space for safe operation, and usual wind patterns lead to areas with suitable landing sites.
Old Settlers Park in Round Rock
Old Settler's Park is East of Round Rock on Highway 79 about halfway to Hutto, next to Dell Diamond. The entrance is on the North side of the highway, and is marked by a stone gate and signs. Pilots usually meet in the Old Settlers' Campground parking lot on the left. Another meeting location is the old pavilion by the lakeside, past the camp ground, across the creek, and past the soccer fields.
If the old pavilion is in use, we might meet at the newer pavilion just east of the main road, and south of the lake. (see map below)
Old Settler's Association
This small launch field is close to Hwy 79, on the west side of the entrance to Dell Diamond.

Mansfield Dam (Lake Travis)
Mansfield Dam Park is the meeting area preceeding the Lake Travis flight. Launches are sited according to wind direction. Entrance to the park is to the north off FM-620 immediatly west of Mansfield Dam. We meet at the west end of the dam half hour before sunrise.
