Event Directions:

From Atlanta to Dauset Nature Center. (Dauset is only about 45 miles (~45 minutes) from the I-75/I-285 interchange on Atlanta's south side).
 
IMPORTANT: Please IGNORE the DausetTrails.com online directions and instead use these directions which give the precise mileage of each driving leg Rezero your odometer at each instruction and pay close attention to mileages given and driven.

1) From the southside I-75/ I-285 Interchange (near the Atlanta Airport) take I-75 South about 33 miles toward Macon to Exit #201. (Consider this shortcut if you live on Atlanta’s east side: Take I-675 southward from I-285 Exit #52 to I-75, then it's just 26 miles to Exit #201 via I-75 South.)

2) Exit I-75 at Exit #201 (GA-36 “Jackson/ Barnesville”).

3) Turn Left over the bridge onto Hwy 36 East and go about 3.1 miles (toward Jackson, GA).

4) Turn Right onto High Falls Road and go about 2.5 miles.

5) Turn Left onto Mt Vernon Church Rd (also known as simply Mt. Vernon Rd) and go about 3.1 miles to the  Dauset Trails Nature Center.
