Directions:
Our entrance is an orange
gate on State Road 44 between DeLand and New Smyrna Beach at the
intersection of Pioneer Trail. Driving east from DeLand, the gate
will be on the left (north side) and you must drive to the next
pass-through to make a U-turn.
From Daytona Beach, take I-95 (State Road 44 exit,
249B) or Pioneer Trail to S.R. 44 west towards DeLand. If you take
Pioneer Trail, you'll notice an entrance to the Preserve, but ignore
it. Our entrance is at the very end of the merge onto S.R. 44 on the
right side of the road.
