Russell and anyone else Here is a link to directions from the East and South. The Knap-in is held in the High Banks Recreation area of the Park which is at the North End of the Park. Do not enter the Park from the Southern end You will wish you hadn't. Its a very long drive to the North end .   Like Jeff said Take sometime to check out the Canyon Gorge. Just beautiful.

When you get to the link just type in your starting address.

Wow thats long


The Park entrance is from the intersection of Park Rd and MT Morris road, Be sure your search results bring you in from there.
