Directions: From the intersection of Egypt Road and Park Ave./Pawlings Road, proceed on Pawlings Road heading towards the Schuylkill River. You will pass Mill Grove on your right, St. Gabriel Hall on your left and Pawling Farm on your left. You are getting close when you pass Sullivan Blvd. on your left and Gertrude St. on your right. You turn left on the next and last left (right before you go over the bridge over the Schuylkill River). Look for the River Trail Valley Forge Park sign visible from Pawlings Road. The gravel parking lot is straight ahead and also visible from Pawlings Road. If you go over the bridge over the Schuylkill River, you have gone too far and are now in Chester county.
