Walking In from Hay Creek Rustic Park

From Hay Creek Rustic Park you will cross the first cable bridge.  You will follow the washed out road South across a small bridge and continue until you reach the second crossing.  Once you have crossed the second set of cables you will follow the gravel path making a right uphill until you reach the cement “Bunker” (picture on right).  Go to the right of the Bunker up the hill and follow the path; you will see the Abandoned Building on your right hand side.  YOU HAVE ARRIVED!

So you’re looking for Directions??

There are two areas you’re able to park at to access Birdsboro Rock Quarry.  Both of these are located on different ends of an old washed out Section of Route 82, hence the wire cable bridges from Hay Creek Rustic Park.  Below are driving directions, Arial Map of the hike and parking areas, and the GPS coordinates.  Access is fairly straight forward, but PLEASE refrain from walking along the railroad tracks. This is private property and could jeopardize our access to the amazing cluster of sport routes.  Again, thank you for your help in keeping this area open to climbers and day hikers by following the posted signs.

--During the warmer months those wishing a faster crossing forge the Creek.  It feels great after a long day of climbing.

Driving Directions

Below you can find Directions from all areas.  There is a printer friendly version of the Driving Directions available for download and printing in our ‘Downloads’ section. 

The Arial Map located on this page may also be of some help.  It shows the two parking areas where we suggest you park.  There is a trash can in the Hay Creek Rustic Park parking area.  Please ‘Leave No Trace’ and pack out everything you pack in with.  THANK YOU!
