Visitor & Driver Tips
For the best experience, we recommend arriving during daylight hours to fully utilize the visitor center amenities. Because this is a state-operated facility, parking is typically available for short-term visitor use. Drivers should ensure they are familiar with the interstate exit signage for Mill Store Road to avoid missing the turn. Always double-check that your vehicle is parked within designated lanes to ensure easy maneuvering for other large trucks and trailers.
