Pro Tip: Arrive by 8am. Too many will try to enter the park between 830 and 9 and the park entrance will get backed up. It is a one lane road and every car has to stop at the parking station.
State Park charges $7 parking per carload. If you have a VA state park permit, please have it on your mirror/dash (they also accept REI receipts for payment) otherwise have $7 handy for quick entry into the park. Once you enter the park you will continue straight on State Park Rd for 1 1/2 miles. You will run into the parking lot. Race morning packet pickup will take place under shelter #2 which is located on the left side of the back of the parking lot, as your drive in.
