From Holmdel area via Route 34:

• Where Route 34 merges with Route 33, there is a one-lane ramp and a big flashing arrow. Immediately at the bottom of this ramp, turn right on to Tinton Falls Road. (Between Apollo Diner and Anchor Marine.)
• Go about a mile. (This road becomes Asbury Road while you are on it.)
• Turn right on to Cranberry Road. (This turn is a little difficult to see as there is a very high, thick hedge on the right just before it. When you pass Megill Road on your left, slow down and take your next right.)
• Go about 2.2 miles until Cranberry Route “tees” at Yellowbrook Road.
• Turn left on Yellowbrook, proceed about ½ mile.
• Turn right at green “Girl Scout Council” sign, just after the water tower.

• On your return trip: Cranberry Road tees into Asbury Road; turn left. Follow this back north to Route 34. Cut across the southbound lanes to the “turnaround” in the median to get to the northbound lanes. Turn left to go north, but immediately move right and fork to the right to stay on Route 34.

From East Brunswick area via Route 18:

• Take Route 18 south to exit 22A, Route 537 east towards Colts Neck.
• Go about ½ mile to light.
• Turn right on to Five Points Road.
• Go about 3 miles to light at Route 33 Business.

• On your return trip: Once on Route 33 west, the road splits to a highway and business routes. Bear right to stay on Route 33 Business. Proceed to light just after Wawa and turn right on to Five Point Road north. When that “tees” into Route 537, turn left, and find entrance to Route 18 just ahead.

• Continue on Asbury Road – about a mile – until it “tees”.
• Turn left. (It’s still called Asbury Road after the turn.)

• Go about 2.2 miles until Cranberry Route “tees” at Yellowbrook Road.
• Turn left on Yellowbrook, proceed about ½ mile.
