STEP 2: LOCAL SITE DIRECTIONS once you're in the Whitewater Area.

Twin Oaks Airport is located 1.1 to 1.6 miles north of the Whitewater McDonald's and KFC on Tratt Street (Highway N), on the left. There are three dirt road entrances to Twin Oaks Airport which are 1.0, 1.4, and 1.6 miles from the McDonald's and KFC, and we park single file along these access roads near either end of the grass runway, depending on wind direction. Park single file with the other cars and walk in. NEVER DRIVE ON ANY GRASS AREAS (not even to turn around). Do not park in line with the ends of the runway, or you will be in the way of the aircraft and hang gliders which are landing. Do not block the roads or any cars. If you are the first to arrive, park intelligently and wait.
