West Point Map (with marked route)

Take exit 16 off the Thruway.  After passing through the toll booths, immediately move to the right and take the first exit ( Look for signs “To 6 East”).  At the top of the exit ramp turn left following the signs for Bear Mt./West Point.  After approx. .4miles and at the fourth traffic light ( just after the underpass), turn left onto East 6.  Proceed on Route 293 past Camp Natural Bridge and Camp Buckner (the race site) until you reach the Route 9W interchange in about 6 1/2 miles.  Stay right to follow the signs onto Route 9W South.  Take the next exit in about 1 mile.  Follow the road straight onto West Point through the Stony Lonesome Gate.  Stay in the right hand lane as you reach the check point.  They will ask for your identification and your vehicle may be searched.  Stay on Stony Lonesome road as it curves around, over the top of the hill, down around Michie Stadium, past Lusk Reservoir, down the hill.  Turn right when you reach the stop sign at the t-intersection.  Follow this road through the first intersection until you see a large parking lot on your right in about 1/2 mile.  PARK HERE.  Walk back along Cullum road to the first stop sign.  Turn slightly left onto Parke road between the Commandant's and the Dean's quarters.  Turn left at the next street.  You will probably once again be asked for your identification.  You are now in front of Arvin Gym on Brewerton road.  Continue to go along Brewerton road until you get to the second set of large doors.  There will be signs along the way.
