From Corpus, take SPID (South Padre Island Drive which becomes Park Road 22) to "The Island." Once you're on the Island, turn left at the first traffic light which is Commodores Drive (Hwy 361 north to Port Aransas). After about a mile you'll go over a small bridge that spans the new Packery Channel. After crossing the bridge make the first right on Zahn Road and follow it to the launch site.
