Getting there may be half the fun, but directions really help! Here are several ways to approach the park:

Visitors traveling east-west on I-44: Exit at Exit #70 (State Highway MM). Continue south to the intersection of State Highway 60, where you will find a traffic light. PROCEED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. Highway MM now becomes Highway M. Continue approximately one-half mile to State Highway ZZ. Turn right on ZZ. Continue south about one mile to Farm Road 182 (Elm Street). Turn left at the intersection. The entrance to the battlefield will be on the right.

Visitors traveling south on U.S. Highway 65: Exit on the James River Freeway (State Highway 60). Continue west on the James River Freeway to the State Highway FF exit. Go south on Highway FF to the intersection of State Highway M. DO NOT GO STRAIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION--IF YOU DO, YOU WILL GO TO THE TOWN OF BATTLEFIELD, NOT TO WILSON'S CREEK. Turn RIGHT on Highway M and continue for about three miles to the intersection of State Highway ZZ. Turn left on Highway ZZ and continue south about one mile to Farm Road 182 (Elm Street). Turn left at the intersection. The entrance to the battlefield will be on the right.
