To find the South Athol Conservation Area entrance: travel south on South Athol Road from Athol Center. The entrance will be on the right 1.1 miles south of the Route 2 overpass, between the intersections of Riceville Road and Conant Road. A Conservation Area sign at the driveway will point you down the dirt roadway to a small parking area on the right before the gate (private residence).
