Directions to Jack Brook Horse Camp
Highway 84 from Woodside through La Honda. Turn left at Pescadero Road, travel past Sam McDonald Park, go one mile to Horse Camp entrance on left, watch for Horse Camp sign on right side of road just before the camp road gate. Be aware of new entrance/exit rule and timetable (See Note Below). Suggestion to newcomers: some people unload at the Sam McDonald parking lot and pony their horses up to the camp and drive truck & trailer into the camp empty because of the road grades. Also, be prepared to take a different route if Highway 84 between Woodside and Skylonda Corners is under construction. Take Highway 92 to Highway 35 (Skyline Blvd.) to Highway 84, turn right and go west to La Honda, etc.
ENTRANCE & EXIT POLICY FOR JACK BROOK HORSE CAMP
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PLEASE READ
The road into the horse camp from Pescadero Road is NARROW, ONE WAY (in most places), and has NO TURNOUTS. There is no room to pass another truck and trailer. For the safety of you and your horses, the following time restrictions are mandatory and will be strictly enforced:
For ALL incoming traffic (Entering the horse camp)
Drive in on the hour until "20 minutes after the hour"
Example: 10:00 a.m. - 10:20 a.m. or 2:00 p.m. - 2:20 p.m.
For ALL outgoing traffic (Leaving the horse camp)
Drive out on the half-hour until "10 minutes to the hour"
Example: 3:30 p.m. - 3:50 p.m. or 5:30 p.m. - 5:50 p.m.
Drivers not in the correct time slot will be obligated to back up, and may be cited by park staff.
The drive normally takes 10 minutes, therefore there is a 10 minute "dead" time between the traffic direction changes. If you are unsure of the exact time, or are a slower driver, then start your drive closer to the hour or half-hour to be safe.
If you arrive to begin your stay during the time that traffic could be coming out of the camp please wait in the Sam Mc Donald Park parking lot (3/4’s of a mile east on Pescadero Road) or at an appropriate roadside location until the time you may drive in.
USE CAUTION AT ALL TIMES! EMERGENCY OR URGENT SITUATIONS MAY OCCUR THAT WILL NECESSITATE PARK STAFF OR EMERGENCY PERSONNEL TO USE THE ROAD IN CONFLICT WITH THE ABOVE SPECIFIED TRAFFIC POLICY. ALWAYS YIELD TO EMERGENCY VEHICLES AND SAFELY FOLLOW THE PARK STAFF OR EMERGENCY PERSONNEL'S DIRECTIONS.
Please advise all your participants of this procedure.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Please note: This procedure has been developed in conjunction with horse camp users to try to alleviate the problems associated with entering and leaving the horse camp. If you have any comments or suggestions on this subject please direct them to either the Volunteer Horse Patrol member on duty, or a Park Staff member, or the Parks Administration Office. |
