Take your best route to Exit 111 on Interstate 70 (20 miles west of Columbia MO). This is the Wooldridge-Overton exit. Turn south onto Highway 179 towards Wooldridge. Note: the convenience store at this exit is the closest place to purchase last minute items prior to arrival at Ozark Avalon.
Proceed 1.6 miles southeast. Turn left (northeast) onto Cumberland Church Road towards the Overton Bottoms Conservation Area South (landmark: Cumberland Church Road is the gravel road opposite Highway V). Proceed 1.0 miles northeast. Turn right (east), still on Cumberland Church Road. Proceed 0.5 miles east. Turn right (south) into the driveway. If you cross railroad tracks, you missed the driveway. At the fork in the driveway, bear right. Proceed to the top of the hill. Retreat registration is on the porch at the retreat center.
If you arrive between midnight and dawn, the driveway gate may be padlocked. In that case, go to the convenience store at the corner of Interstate 70 and Highway 179. Use the pay phone to call us at (660) 537-4870.
