You can also use the pictures and written directions below: 

  1. Take the Howell School Road Entrance to Lums Pond State Park
  2. Follow signs for "Area 1" - this should take you to the very end of the road where there will be no more options to drive further. 
  3. This is also the same parking lot for the Lums Pond attraction "Go Ape" Tree tops ropes course adventure. 
  4. Head toward the restroom building and through the awning of the building toward the water
  5. See images and captions below for more details.



From the parking lot, you should be able to see this restroom building that is toward the waterfront. You should also see the "Go Ape" signs and ropes course (on the opposite direction of the restrooms) to indicate you're in the right place.


Go through the awning of the restroom building toward the waterfront.


We will be seated under the trees facing the water. Ushers will help direct you as you arrive.
