NOTE: On weekends, the Anvil Block Road Gate is the ONLY one open. When you enter the gate Anvil Block Road becomes Hood Avenue. Proceed approximately 1.5 miles straight on Hood Avenue. Turn LEFT onto 18th Street (there is a sign for Marchman Lake). You will immediately cross two sets of railroad tracks and appear to be driving into a "industrial" type area with motor pools on both sides surrounded by high fences. When the main road curves around to the left, KEEP DRIVING STRAIGHT. It will appear that you are driving into the woods and the asphalt will become gravel after a short way. The road will curve to the left and entrance to Marchman Lake is just ahead on the RIGHT. (REMINDER: Be prepared to show identification with photograph for all those over the age of 16 and proof of insurance.)
