Address: Valley Branch ELC Attn: Thomas Degree 1553 Stagecoach Tr. S Afton, MN 55001
Driving Directions: 1. Go east on Interstate 94 to Co. Rd. 15 (Manning Ave.) exit #253. 2. Go south (right), and turn left (east) immediately on the frontage road, or Hudson Rd S. 3. Go east 3.2 miles to the stop sign at Co. Rd. 21, (Stagecoach Trail S). 4. Turn right and go south on CR 21 for 1.9 miles. 5.
Watch for the Valley Branch and Belwin address, “1553 and 1557”, by a
gravel driveway on the LEFT-hand (east) side of the road (located
between the intersections of Indian Trail and 15th Street S., both of
which go to the right (west), and just before crossing a creek). 6.
Turn left into the gravel driveway and drive straight, past an offshoot
to the right (that goes up a small hill to the BELWIN Property
Headquarters and Maintenance Building). 7. To get to VALLEY BRANCH
ELC (at Belwin Center), turn left a short distance further, where the
road forks (or see #10 below), and STOP AT THE GATE. 8. Use the
telephone (inside the yellow box attached to the left-hand gatepost).
Picking up the receiver automatically rings the office for you to: 1) notify us of your arrival, and 2) learn if the single lane road is clear for you to proceed. (If you still meet another vehicle, there are several pullouts.) 9.
Proceed up the hill (slow for the erosion bars) to the parking lot and
walk to the building. If this is physically difficult, please drive the
remaining distance and park at the building. 10. To get to the
Bulrush Slough Classroom / Special Education Program, go straight ahead
at the driveway fork (step #7 above) and STAY TO THE RIGHT along the
pond. Stop at the stop sign by the classroom and wait for someone to
meet you.
