River Hawk Conference Center at Proud Lake Recreation Area

~River Hawk Conference Center~

They're fixing the roof on our normal Annex classroom, so we'll be meeting at the River Hawk Conference Center at Proud Lake State Recreation Area in Commerce Township, MI... it's only about a minute or two down the road from the Annex. 

While the following contains explicit directions to where we'll be starting, maybe the easiest, surest way to get there is to cut and paste these coordinates into whatever map app you use: 42.572278, -83.545982

You'll want to access the Proud Lake State Recreation Area from Wixom Road; the entrance can be easy to pass by, so look for this sign:

Once you turn East onto Park Headquarters Road you'll see another sign:

Follow that road ALL the way down (pass the park headquarters office, pass the first parking lot on your left, pass the River Hawk Annex) until it ends at a dirt parking lot and the lawn and sidewalk.  DON'T pass the yellow gate.  Park here and walk down the road to the River Hawk Conference Center, as show below.

The park just told me if needed we can use overflow parking: pass the yellow gate, pass the conference center, and the take the drive on the right up the hill into the grassy field. 

Please do review these directions before heading out to be sure you know where you're going; cell reception is sometimes spotty in the park and I may not be able to get calls asking for clarification.
