You need "The Southern Route; via Columbus", which hasn't been posted yet.
Here ya Go! >>>

1: Start out going East on US-50/ W MAIN ST/
.. OH-104 toward OH-772/ S PAINT ST. 0.44 miles

2: Turn LEFT onto N BRIDGE ST/ US-23 BL N/
.. OH-159 N. Continue to follow N BRIDGE ST/ OH-159 N. 3.86 miles

3: Merge onto US-23 NORTH via the ramp- on the left. 34.20 miles

4: Merge onto I-270 WEST toward I-71 / COLUMBUS. 2.51 miles

5: Merge onto I-71 N via exit number 55 toward COLUMBUS. 4.41 miles

6: Take OH-315 N toward INDIANAPOLIS. 11.79 miles

7: Merge onto I-270 E toward WESTERVILLE. 0.63 miles

8: Merge onto US-23 N via exit number 23 toward DELAWARE. 66.99 miles

BEWARE the 55 mph zones!! Smokey da Bear is *watching*!

9: Stay straight to go onto OH-15 West.
.. THIS is where US- 23 just "morphs" into Ohio- 15 West
.. don't do anything except keep driving straight
.. (and don't "follow" US-23!! It doesn't vanish -
.. 23 turns off to the north by itself.)

** NOTE what your odometer mileage is here as 23 turns into Ohio 15 !

Go about 7.5 to 8 miles on Ohio 15; then
.. SLOW Down as much as you can without getting trampled...

10: *watch* for a line of Pine Trees paralleling the highway on your right

.. *watch* for an advance sign for TOWNSHIP Road # 190
... the turn (a Right) is hard to spot at 65 mph...
... and it's NOT a high speed turn, either!!

Turn RIGHT onto TOWNSHIP ROAD 190. (a lil dinky 2 laner)

11: Go straight North on Twp 190 - go about 2 miles on 190
.. pass Twp 173
.. pass Twp 174 (on the right, only)
.. pass Twp 202 (a cross road)

.. to the STOP Sign at Township 205

12: Turn LEFT onto Twp 205; and go about 1 mile...

13: Turn RIGHT (north) onto TOWNSHIP 244 - go about 1 mile to
.. the STOP Sign at the Tee intersection with Township 207

14: Turn LEFT (west) onto TOWNSHIP 207...

.. you'll cross a lil Rickity Bridge;
.. and you're *looking* at the Findlay Reservoir! (The BIG Dirt Pile!)
.. turn RIGHT (cuz you have to to follow the road!)
.. then drive North beside the Reservoir for about 1/2 mile.

15: Twp 207 turns off to the left to follow across the north end of the Reservoir.

YOU drive STRAIGHT (now on TWP 208) and Enter the RiverBend Park

16: SLOW Down when you see "the Lodge" on the left...
.. pass "the Lodge" Building and turn LEFT into the Parking Lot.

"Our" Pavilion # 7 is the first one on the right
after you enter the parking lot.
