Location

We are in “old-town” Spicewood, which is 45 miles west of Austin and 15 miles east of Marble Falls (off of Hwy 71 West), a perfect spot for touring the famed Texas Hill Country, the Wildflower Trail and the Wine Trail. We are on the west side of Lake Travis, and just down the road from Krause Springs.

Spicewood airport 88R is 7 miles down the road. Free tie-down. 100 LL available. No landing fees.

Track your mileage from here.

After 1 mile, Spur 191 becomes CR 410 (blue county road sign) at an intersection.

Go straight through the intersection and stay on CR 410.

CR 410 later makes a sharp curve to the right (there is a sign for CR410), you will then pass the Holloway Cemetery gate on your left.

CR410 then makes a sharp turn to the left at the top of a hill.

Watch out, you can miss this: Turn right onto CR421 (the first road after the sharp curve).

There is a red fireplug at the corner.

You have now traveled 3 miles from the Exxon.

 

Proceed 1/2 mile, turn left into the Lost Cove entrance onto Lost Cove Dr. (This is also CR421A)
