- From North of Corvallis travel, Take I-5 south to Exit 228 - Route
34 exit (to Corvallis) and turn west onto Route 34.
- As you're approaching Corvallis (before the bridge over the
Willamette) the route turns left at a stop light. (About 9.5 Miles from
I-5). Take this turn and continue on Route 34 all the way to
Philomath.
- After passing the downtown portion of Philomath, (7 miles from turn
at bridge), you'll come upon an intersection (just past the wood mill to
the left) indicating a continuation of Rt. 34 - by turning to the left,
(staying straight will put you on Rt. 20 to Newport - Do not go
straight!).
- Take this left turn onto Rt 34 toward Waldport, and drive for
several miles (approximately 8.8 miles).
- Route 34 takes you on a winding journey through the Marys Peak
foothills, then leads you to a hillcrest where the Marys Peak access
road begins, marked by a sign to the right.
- Turn right, onto this road, and drive for just over 5 miles.
- After this point, you'll encounter a brief patch of gravel road,
just beyond the gravel is an intersection for a road to the left. Do
NOT turn on this road, just continue straight on the paved road for
another hundred yards and the Conner's Camp turn-off (marked by signs)
will be seen to the right.
- Take this turn and continue to the parking area, which is only a few
hundred yards away.
- The overflow parking lot is just past turn to Conner's Camp and is
on the left side of the road (See map below)
