    For Anthony Wayne Recreational Area (AW), get off at exit 17 and proceed to the recreational area.

    For Silvermine Lake (SM), get off at exit 18 for Route 6 (exit is on the left).  You will come to a traffic circle.  Proceed about three-quarters of the way around the circle onto Seven Lakes Drive heading south.  Go just over one mile on the drive, looking for a clearing on the left and a sign for Silvermine Lake.  Turn into the clearing and park.
