Takeoff description

Launch site is on the bay side of the levee. Access to the LZ is via approach to the Texas City Dike where one must pay the $5 toll to get onto the Dike whereby one must then take a U-turn to get onto the levee. One can use this as a launching site for further inland travels. Should one follow the shoreline north beyond the floodgates, be aware landing on the other side of the floodgates could result in a 4 mile walkout as the access road is padlocked shut.
