These are locations we have had the privilege to fly. Some may have access restrictions. Texas Slope Flying Sites Denton County Sites: Directions: Go north on I-35 about 9 miles past Denton to Exit 478. Turn right on FM 455. Go several miles until you cross the dam, then make first right and follow it back to the mid point of the dam, the road ends there at a parking lot. There are restrooms, playground, and covered picnic tables. The park is a $3.00 self pay park. There is a drop box with instructions by the restrooms. To give you an idea how far this is, Exit 478 on I-35 is 67 miles north of north loop 820 and I-35W in Fort Worth. Not sure how far north of loop 635 and I-35E in Dallas. Notes: S face is grass, N face is rock. I have been told the S face is a delight to fly -- nice long grassy slope with plenty of lift, no obstructions. There is a road across the top of the dam, but it is not overly crowded and the slope is plenty tall to avoid any need to stray too close to the road. Lewisville Lake Dam: I've heard that this is a flyable slope, but that flying is not allowed and they will run you off if you try. © Copyright 2000-2007 by slopeflyer.com |
