Notes -

There is a entrance fee at CVSP which is waived for cars whose driver is 62 and older. Before school dismisses, and after Columbus Day entrance is free to all.

Some may prefer to park at the Port Crane fishing access on NY369 just after passing under I88. Wait until the group from CVSP arrives. This makes the ride slightly shorter as on the return, you do not go into the park, but proceed straight down NY369/.
