Directions to GWB Complex #3 (GWB #3 fishing pond):

1.        Enter the GWB Complex #3 off State Route 821.  It is the complex nearest the entrance/exit off Interstate 77.

2.       Go up the hill to the first set of buildings.  Turn left.

3.       Proceed all the way to the end of these buildings.  Head down to the pond—it is straight ahead, down a pretty steep drive.
