Driving Directions

Take the Palisades Interstate Parkway to Exit 17 (Anthony Wayne Recreation Area) and park the first car in the large parking area just beyond the entrance kiosk. With the second car, get back onto the Palisades Interstate Parkway, heading south, and take Exit 15 (Gate Hill Road). Turn left at the bottom of the ramp onto County 106 and bear right at a fork with County 83. At the next fork, bear right to continue on County 106, and proceed for a short distance until you see a small parking area on the left side of the road, just before a bridge over a stream. Park the second car here. GPS: 41.22964, -74.06029
