VERY IMPORTANT: Spring road conditions require careful route planning and driving. Allow 40 minutes to get from Riverview to the field due to the terrible road conditions. There is a road washout along route 114 and the highway is closed until June.

Follow Pine Glen Road for 15.5km, then turn left at the 4-way intersection, following the detour signs to Hillsborough. Turn right onto Route 114 South towards Hillsborough and drive for 9km.
