"Okay, I'm there - now what?" Take a look at this handy map. We're going to be right were the circle is pictured on the map. When you enter the park from Route 16, you'll come past a really large field. Beyond that is a gravel parking lot. Park there. We'll be in the field adjacent to that. You can't miss it. You can see the parking lot right from the main road into the park.
