Returning to I79/Turnpike:
Because a left turn from Brush Creek Road onto Route 68 is not permitted, you will need to follow a different route when you are going home. Turn left onto Rt. 588 when you leave the park. Stay on Rt 588 until you reach Zelienople (588 will become 288 as you get close to Zelienople). Follow Rt 68 East until you reach the on ramp for I79 South.
