Armada Directions

Post by KNeal »

Here are some directions:

From Ohiopyle to Savage River State Forest:
Go east on Rt. 40 until you get back on I-68 east. Take the Rt. 219 north exit, number 22 (?), turn right onto Chestnut Ridge Rd. and go 2 1/2 miles, turn left onto New Germany Rd. and go 5 miles, turn left onto Big Run Rd. and go 5 miles, turn left onto Savage River Rd. , then you will come upon the park. After you cross the first bridge past the dam, the usual campground will be on your left. It is essentially a grassy strip off of the road.

From Savage River State Forest to Bloomington:
Go east (downriver) on Savage River Rd. for 10 1/2 miles and turn left when you get to the end. You will see a building on your left before you cross back over the confluence of the Savage and NB Potomac. Rendezvous there and set shuttle at the designate takeout for the NB Potomac (other c-boaters will tell you where that is).

Going west on I-68 to Bloomington:
Take the Rt 220 south/Greene St exit (no. 42?) and continue on Rt. 220 south for over 18 miles, turn slight left onto Crooks Ave. and go 3/4 mile, turn right onto Rt. 135/westernport Rd and follow Rt. 135 west for about 7 miles. Follow Rt. 135 as it turns left and crosses the confluence of the Savage River and NB Potomac. Look for the building on the right. If you are looking for the road to the campground, continue past building and take the first right onto Savage River Rd.

I hope these directions are accurate, I drew them from Mapquest. Good luck with them and have a great time.

P.S. Jay "not Elvis" and Dave M. are better with these directions than I am so I hope they will provide additional info.
