How to get there

Haselton Road is off Route 86 on the eastern side of the Ausable River. It crosses the river after a couple of miles from Wilmington and eventually leads to the Silver Lake Road in the town of Black Brook. Most of the land along the route, including the river shoreline, is privately owned.
