At the end of the Coopers Rock State Forest (CRSF) exit, turn LEFT (the direction opposite to that going to the CRSF Overlook) to cross, from south to north, over Interstate 68. Within 200 meters, at the T-intersection’s stop sign, turn right and drive for approximately 1/2 mile until you see a sign on the left (and on the right) for Chestnut Ridge Park. Turn left at the sign and follow the road for approximately 1.5 miles, passing a couple CRSF buildings along the way. Turn left, that takes you slightly downhill, at the entrance to the park and follow the main park road, past Harris Lake, until you come to a covered pavilion on the left with a volleyball court next to the pavilion (Red Maple Pavilion).
