Old Minden Rd. is approximately 1.5 miles long, with narrow passages and blind spots. DRIVE SLOW...local traffic is used to this road, and they drive fast.

Please drive slowly through Minden, as there are children playing and the road is narrow. Thank you for your consideration.

Once at ACE, follow the signs to the Welcome Center

Then relax, you've arrived...
