Travel Directions to Keene State College

Here are driving directions from the Upper Valley to Keene State College:

Take Rt. 91 South to Exit 5

Turn left at the end of the ramp and follow the road down the hill to Rt. 5.  You'll be looking for signs for Walpole, NH.  Turn right at the bottom of the hill, and then after 1/2 mile, pass the Mobil gas station and immediately bear left as the main road curves right.  You will immediately turn hard left and go under a narrow, one-lane railroad overpass.  (I have talked many skeptical bus drivers under this!).

Cross the Connecticut River and turn right on Rt. 12.  Follow Rt. 12 for 10 miles (guesstimate) through Walpole and Westminster toward Keene.  Stay on 12 until it intersects with Rt. 101.  Turn left on Rt. 101.  If you're parking where we're parking, turn left on Winchester Street (I think it's a ropundabout) and after 1/4 mile look for the Keene State parking lot on your right, opposite MacDonald's.  At the far end of the parking lot, there is a path over the railroad tracks and under the power lines to the playing fields.

You can also continue on Rt. 101 and take the next left at the lights onto the Main Street.  The Keene campus starts on the left shortly, and you can look for a left turn that will take you to the gym.  I''d advise the former option.
