Rose Hwy (the road will narrow from 2 to 4 lanes) for approx. 5 1/2 miles.PARK LOCATION:  The Galena Creek Recreation Area is on the right side of the highway.  There are two park signs. DO NOT TURN OFF AT the first sign that says, NORTH ENTRANCE. Continue driving another 3/4 mile until you see the SOUTH ENTRANCE sign for the Galena Creek Recreation Area, which is on the right, just behind the NDOT staging area.  When you turn into the South Entrance, continue up the road and look for a posted sign “NLBG”, or one of us waving at you.  We’ll be in the shaded picnic area, which has 3 tables and a barbecue grill, just across from the restrooms.  If you’d like, stop and unload your food first, then drive down to the parking area (which is just below the picnic site), park and walk back up.  Don’t hesitate to call (691-3762) for assistance.     We look forward to this special day with all the NLBG and guests.
