When it ends at the creek, turn right onto Tulpehocken Rd. Go 300 yards to Park entrance on left. For People from North (Allentown, Coal Region, etc.): You’ll get to the exit on Rt 222 South before ever reaching Reading “proper” For People from East (Pottstown, Phila, etc.) You’ll pass Reading itself on Rt 422 before merging into Rt 222 north; exit is 1 mile further. For People from West & Southwest (Lancaster, York, Lebanon): The new Rt 222 N Bypass doesn’t even take you past Reading anymore; take Rt 222 north toward Allentown; exit is 1 mile past Berkshire Mall.
