the route with a detailed map of the area. There are many ways to get there.

1. Take Garfield (south) out of Traverse City to Hobbs Hwy. Turn LEFT (east)

At the fork in the little village at the bottom of the hill, Stay left on Hobbs Hwy

Look for Ranch Rudolf (RR) sign at Ranch Rudolf Rd on Right. Turn Right.

After the road becomes gravel, at the bottom of the hill there is a Stop sign. Turn Right.

You are now heading back west. Follow Brown Bridge Road 1 mile (PASSING the horse
CAMPGROUNDS) until you SEE THE BRIDGE crossing over the Boardman. Immediately before
the bridge, turn left into the campground and drive about 100 yards to the parking area by
the river. There is a potty there.

3. From southwest of town (this requires a great deal of attention, and more
distance on dirt and gravel roads.

Go through Chums Corner (US-31 and 37), and head east on Beitner Road.

Go down the hill until you pass over the Boardman River. About 300 yards after
that, turn right and head east on River Road.

Follow it to Garfield, and then cross over that, and then about 50 yards later,
cross over Arbutus Hill Road.

Continue on that road (you will cross the river again), the paved section will end
and you will pass the entrance to Brown Bridge Pond. About 1/4 mile after that,

STAY LEFT when you encounter the fork in the road.

Follow the road for about 3 miles and then it will cross the river again. As
soon as you cross over, turn right into the campground.
