[Hac-announce] Directions to the Independence Day Cookout

[Cary Shaw]

Hi all, 

Here's info I obtained from Brian Ditter on the location and directions to the Independence Day cookout. 

--Cary Shaw

 

The locale is not called Crystal Lake Park.  It is Ron McCutcheon Park, and part of it is on Crystal Lake.

 

If you are using GPS, enter the address

100 Livingston Road, Middletown, CT

and you'll be close.

 

If coming from Route 17 going north,

 go past rte 68 in Durham.  If you go past 147 in Durham you've gone too far.

Bear right turn onto Haddam Quarter Road going east.

Turn left onto Millbrook Road.  Turn left onto Livingston going west.  In a couple blocks you'll find the entrance to the Ron McCutcheon Park on your right.  

Go north into the park.  You'll go through the parking area.

Building on the lake has the restroom. Just beyond that is the pavilion where we'll be meeting.

 

>From the north or south on Hwy 9: 

Get off on Randolph Road west (also called hwy 155).  At the first light past the fire station (about a mile or so), turn left (south) onto Millbrook.  Turn left (west) onto Livingston.  (Continue as above.)

 

Cell phone are:

(860)262-1291 (Brian Ditter) 

(860)754-6595 (Tara McLaughlin)

 

 

P.S.  Here's a description of the park

This 100-acre park on state-owned Crystal Lake offers swimming, a sand beach, picnic pavilion, tables, a shower and buildings with amenities. There's also a Little League field, a softball field and a soccer field. The paved, state boat launch is for electric motors only and fishing is allowed, but not ice-fishing. McCutcheon Park is also the scene of many summer youth programs sponsored by the city's recreation department.
