Please note : Google maps / GPS coordinates are inaccurate at this time. The cabins are located approximately at the intersection of State Route 356 and County Road 20 (Crow Rd).
Roads/Directions
The cabins sit on a quiet state route that is well maintained. It does however flood in spots when we have a lot of rain. Alternate directions are given to get around the flooded areas on St. Rt. 356. High water signs on Rt 356 are posted when the road is impassable. The driveway for the cabins drops down from the road before leveling out.
From the west:
Take St Rt 32 east toward Athens. About 10 miles west of Athens Rt 32 and Rt50 merge eastbound. At that point St Rt 50 goes west or left. Take St Rt 50 left from St Rt 32 ( this is on the west end of OU airport). Go 3mi and turn right onto St Rt 356. This is a curvy road so watch your speed. Go 3.1mi (approx) to cabins. On right- one is OU Bobcat green the other is cedar tone. Driveway is just past the cabins and drops off from the road before leveling out.
From the east:
Take St Rts 32 / 50 west. Turn right following St Rt 50 near west end of the OU airport. Follow directions in italics above.
Alternate direction in case of flooding on Rt 356:
These roads really take you through the country but do not tend to flood. Shortly before getting to Rt 356 from Rt 50 take Weaver Church Rd north (right). Turn left on McVey Rd. (where Weaver Church turns into Trout Rd). McVey goes in and out of 3 counties and changes names going from McVey to Zimmerman Rd. then Coal Hollow Rd. Stay on Coal Hollow. Turn left onto Lively Ridge Rd. Lively Ridge dead ends into Rt 356 (township garage with gravel piles on corner). Turn right onto 356 and go approximately ½ mile to cabins on the right. This will add a little time to your trip.
To OU campus from cabins:
Make your way back to Rt 32 and turn left onto Rt32/50. About 10 miles to Athens. Speed limit is 60 but changes to 55mph close to Athens. Exit LEFT at Richland Ave and go straight onto Richland Ave. Stay on Richland through roundabout. OU straight ahead
To get to Lake Hope State Park from the cabins:
You can take the back roads through Zaleski State Forest to get there but for much better roads : return to St Rt 50 and turn right onto Rt 50. Turn right again onto Rt 278 and follow the signs. Beautiful drive!
