• Directions for access on scouting days
  Proceed from the J Base Cape Cod rotary onto Connery Ave. and follow Connery to the main access gate, where you will stop and be checked by security (have driver’s license and hunting license ready). Explain to the guard that you are there to scout for hunting. You will then proceed through the gate and drive directly to the Range Operations Building to check in. To get to the range operations building, continue on Connery Ave. for ~0.6 miles and turn left onto Frank Perkins Rd.  Follow Frank Perkins Rd. for ~2.8 miles north to the Range Control Building (NOTE: There will be a turn to the left at ~2.7 miles to stay on the paved Frank Perkins Rd. Do not proceed straight at that point onto the gravel/bluestone road/Gibbs Rd.)  Click here to view a map.
