Map
- When you reach Capon Bridge, go through the town, cross the blue bridge
over the Cacapon River, then take the first road to the right, immediately
after the bridge. This is Springfield Grade Rd., but a more visible sign
says "Edward's Run, Public Fishing Area"). Two other landmarks
on this corner are a white church with a tall steeple, and a small pizza/subshop/bar/restaurant.
After four and a half miles and a horse shoe turn on Springfield Grade,
watch on the left for a sign to "Buffalo Gap Camp". Turn left
at the sign, go half a mile, then turn right at the next sign, at the foot
of the camp's driveway. Come up the drive; the parking area is on your right.
