A little word to the wise, deer or still running rampant out here (Too many city folks
heading out this way!)-PLEASE BE ALERT & AWARE!!!
KNOWN TROUBLE SPOTS: On Strawberry Lake Rd. at the "S" curve past Merrill;
Almost anywhere on N. Territorial once you get past 23, and most of Mask Rd. But there can
be others, as well so take heed!!!
FROM POINTS SOUTH AND EAST:
96 To 14, or 94 to 23 NORTH and go to exit #53(Whitmore Lake). This is basically Eight Mile Rd but it has at least 2-3 name changes. When you exit TURN LEFT and go 2.6 miles (there is 3 curves) to STRAWBERRY LAKE ROAD(a cemetery is on the right side). TURN LEFT and go 3.5 miles to DUNLAVY LANE(look for 3 roads close together like city blocks, starting with West Lane, then Louis St and Louis Lane and the 4th one is your turn) and TURN RIGHT and go to a T (after a curve) in road. At T TURN LEFT(watch out as a tree separates the lanes). Go to a Y in road and TURN RIGHT to FIRST HOUSE- a TAUPE CHALET: 11497 Dunlavy Lane. Yes, you will be ready for a cold beverage!!!
ALTERNATE using NORTH TERRITORIAL:
the You can go ALL the way to US 23 if you EXIT at BECK ROAD, take a left to the light which is Territorial and turn right and go about 13 miles to US 23. You can either head North on 23 or continue over 23 and go about 6 miles to Mask Rd(this will be your SECOND flashing yellow, with your first one being your last chance to stop at a store!). Turn RIGHT onto Mask and go about 3.5 miles to to a stop sign which is Strawberry Lake Road. Turn RIGHT for 1/2 mile to Dunlavy on your left, the first street.
FROM POINTS NORTH AND EAST:
696 To 96, or M59 to 23 SOUTH and go to exit #55(Silver Lake Rd). TURN RIGHT and go to stop sign(which is right there) and TURN LEFT to FIRST STREET(Winias Lake Rd) and TURN RIGHT . Go 2.1 miles until it dead ends at stop sign and TURN LEFT and go to another dead end and stop sign. TURN RIGHT (M36) and go 1.1 mile to MERRILL Rd (a lake is on right and a Dairy Queen is on left). TURN LEFT to first stop sign and TURN RIGHT onto STRAWBERRY LAKE ROAD and go about 1.8 miles to DUNLAVY LANE. As mentioned above look for the 3 roads close together and the 4th one is Dunlavy-follow the directions above once you make the turn unto Dunlavy.
FROM POINTS NORTH AND WEST:
96 to D19 exit in Howell. TURN RIGHT unto D19 and go 9 miles to dead end or "T". TURN LEFT(M36) and go about 5.9 miles to MERRILL RD. TURN RIGHT(Only way) and follow directions above once you get to first stop sign which is STRAWBERRY LAKE RD!
