Roadside Rest Area Remembered
During the middle decades of the 20th century, the Ohio Department of Transportation maintained a roadside rest area south of Darrtown on the west side of State Route 177. The diagram below depicts the layout of the park, as remembered from many years ago. The view is looking from south to north.
The entrance to the rest area was located immediately south of the Four Mile Creek bridge. Denny Robinette's residence, which is described in Harlan Miller's recollections, was accessed by driving through the parking lot and proceeding west about 100 yards down a private lane.
The manual water pump in the rest area was the kind that would deliver water a few moments after one stopped pumping the handle, thus an individual could secure drinking water, without the help of another person.
