Directions:
Least dirt road driving:
Take your best route to
Slaterville Springs on Rt. 79. Just east of the village,
angle left onto Harford
Rd, continue about 2 1/2 miles to Canaan Rd. Turn left (north) onto
Canaan Rd. After a while (1 mile?), this road turns to dirt, and
Redman Run with its "Abandoned Road" sign
branches off to the right shortly thereafter. Park so as not to
block the roads: this may mean parking at the snowplow turnaround
where the pavement ends, or at the pullout on Canaan Rd, uphill
on the left from the Redman Run intersection,
and walking the few hundred meters from either of these places to
Redman Run.
Most dirt road driving, high road clearance recommended:
it is possible to also approach from the direction we more usually have
used for our Hammond Hill events (From Rt 13, two miles west
of Dryden, head south on Irish Settlement Rd, left onto Hammond
Hill Rd, followed by a left on Star Stanton Rd. The road
becomes dirt, then tops a hill. Turn right on Canaan Rd (also dirt) at
the star intersection slightly beyond the hill's crest and follow
it up a bit, then down a long hill.
Park at the pullout on the right, near the bottom of the
hill/intersection with Redman Run.
