For us this is the important part

"Thomaston Dam, Leadmine Entrance: The area will open May 1st for the season.  Vehicular access will be allowed Wednesday to Sunday, 8:00 am to 3:00 pm."

Please be understanding of the times and that our group of Rangers are working hard to get us the most time available while facing a tightened budget and reduced manning.  We are their guests and they have been fine hosts to us for 50 years.  Thank you.

 

Requirements to Fly

Since it's the beginning of the flight year, let's ensure everyone has the things necessary to legally fly.

 

1. AMA registration (not legally required but required at our field)

2. FAA registration

3. Pass theTRUST test

 

We are a FRIA site and therefore you don't require Remote ID when flying at our field.  Please remember to label your planes in accordance with FAA and AMA requirements.
