DIRECTIONS TO SCENIC, HISTORIC BETTY'S TWISTED ACRES
FROM POINTS SOUTH

Take whatever route you prefer to the New York State Thruway (I-87).
(Suggested routes to get to the Thruway: either NJ Route 17 North or the Palisades Parkway North)

Ride the NYS Thruway North to Exit 21: Catskill, Cairo.
(You'll be on the Thruway approx. 80 miles)

Get off, pay toll
We suggest if you need gas or supplies to stop at the Stewarts Shop right near the exit.

Hop onto Route 23 West for 10 miles. Route 23 briefly merges with Route 32 along the way... no big deal.

Keep an eye out for Route 145 North, take 23 West onto 145 North.

You're on 145 for about 35 miles.
You'll pass through the town of East Durham (nice Irish town), and when you pass the stop sign at the intersection of Route 81, you're halfway there!

When you enter the Village of Middleburgh (there'll be a sign), start looking for the Middleburgh Diner. Right after the Diner you'll see Huntersland Road. Make a right onto Huntersland Road. Outside the Diner is the last pay phone available to you if you need to call us. Note that your cell phone is probably isn't working at this point. If it is, you're probably Jack Bauer or James Bond or some other government-spy-type with a satellite phone.

Travel 3 or 4 miles until you see Brooky Hollow Road. There's a red barn on the left, and then about 100 feet later is Brooky Hollow Road (you'll see the street sign on your left). Make a left onto Brooky Hollow Road.

Travel a little less than a mile, and you'll see a pond on the right with a couple of old barns around it. You've arrived! Pull up on the right at the Main Residence (about 100 feet past the pond).

Bring tent, camping gear, cooler/ice, what you're drinking, pillows, blankets, bath towels, personal effects, and lawn chairs. Basically, it's just like camping.

Phone # at Betty's Twisted Acres: (518) 827-7183. See you there!

After the bridge, continue straight through the traffic light... don't make a left onto River Road, stay straight on Main Street/145 South.

Continue about 2 miles, and then make a left at the Middleburgh Diner onto Huntersland Road. Outside the Diner is the last pay phone available to you if you need to call us.

Make a right onto Main Street, and the Hall of Fame will be on the right towards the end of town.
