All major features of the park are located near Routes 20 and 179. The boat launch is located on Howells Pond. 

Access for the cross-country ski area can be found on Balance Rock Road. Follow to the end of the road and park; be careful not to block the cul-de-sac. Then, follow the roadbed into the woods. After crossing the Blue Blazed Tunxis Trail, look for the ski cabin on the right.
