Directions

  • From I-75:
    Take exit 76 to Gainesville. Go EAST on SR26 (Newberry Rd/University) to SR24 (Waldo Rd). Go LEFT on Waldo Rd. to US301 North after town of Waldo. ** Caution: Watch for fluctuating speed limits! **
    The Waldo/Starke area has been rated a police speed-trap by AAA

    At CR18 in Hampton (at the Gate gas station) turn LEFT. Follow CR18 around Lake Hampton to the end (at the "T"). Turn LEFT and immediately LEFT again into the driveway.
  • From I-95:
    Exit at SR100 at Flagler Beach (just past Ormond Beach exit). Go WEST/LEFT toward Bunnell and Palatka. Watch carefully in Palatka to follow SR100 (it goes left shortly after Moseley Ave.) until you get through the town of Keystone Heights. (All of this takes about 2 hours after exiting I-95.) When you see the tiny airport on your right, be ready to turn LEFT onto CR18 (Edward's Grocery and Exxon station on the right). Cross US301 and follow CR18 around the lake to end of road. Turn left at the "T" and immediately left again into the driveway.
  • From Jacksonville:
    Take US301 South to CR18 and turn right at the Gate Gas Station (approx 6 miles south of Starke). Follow CR18 around the lake to end of road. Turn left at the "T" and immediately left into the driveway.
