The route from the water tank in Chesnee back to South Carolina 11 is on residential streets. A one-lane railroad bridge with weight restrictions is located before the crossing of U.S. 221.

Be sure to observe both the U.S. 221 bypass and the business route to the right, as well as to your left.

Special parking is designated at the visitor center for buses and trailers.
