From the East and 494 Take Highway 7 West about 10 miles to County Road 19/Oak Street take a right, Galpin Lake is on your left. After you turn onto Co. Rd. 19, the station is almost exactly 1 mile away. County Road 19/Oak Street changes into Smithtown Road at the Excelsior/Shorewood border shortly after the Excelsior Water Tower. Stay on the road and the fire station is on your right, go past the station and turn North right after the gray Excelsior Fire District sign. Go straight through the fence gates and park appropriately.
If you get to the stop light on the curve at Smithtown and Manitou you have gone too far.
If you are coming from the West it is easiest to stay get on 7 going East and use the same directions.
