KINSOUTH:

How Do I Get There?

Kinsouth is held at Little Talbot Island outside of Jacksonville, Florida. The park's address is:

Driving Instructions: Sooner or later, you will have to get to Interstate HWY 95 or 9A, so...!

From 95 South or 95 North:

Take 95 South to Exit # (Fernandina Beach/Amelia Island). From the ramp, go left towards Fernandina. Keep going for several miles until you cross over a big ass bridge. (Well it's big to ME.) Directly after the bridge at the next red light, take a right. Follow that road around. After you pass the airport (on your right) there is a turning lane (to the right) to get onto the Hecksher. Take it. If you miss that road, never fear. Just keep going straight until the red light. Take a right and follow that road until the next flashing light, then take a left onto Heckscher. Once on Heckscher keep going. You will go over at least three tiny overpass like bridges. You will see a sign that says Big Talbot Island State Park - DON'T FALL FOR THAT TRAP WHATEVER YOU DO!!! You are looking for Little Talbot Island... which comes up quickly after that; you will see a brown sign and a wide white gravel space with the park entrance to your left. Unless your party is already registered, go to the park entrance, let the rangers know you have arrived, and do your thing. REMEMBER: THIS GATHER IS A REGISTRATION REQUIRED EVENT, AND YOU HAVE TO BE REGISTERED PRIOR TO ARRIVING.

From 9A North or South:

Take 9A until you reach the Heckscher Drive/Zoo exit. From 9A North, you will go right off of the ramp and follow Heckscher all the way around past the tiny houses and by the river. (If you haven't passed a zoo by the first mile or two, you're probably going the wrong way.) You will cross a good many bridges. You will also pass the Huguenot State Park, which is recognizable by a flashing caution light in front of the park entrance. After that will come Little Talbot Island State Park. The brown park sign will be right before the entrance to the ranger station, which is to your right. The white gravel entrance to the campground will be to your left. Like I said before: Remember that this gather is a registration required event, and you have to be registered prior to arriving.
