Directions to Welch

We are traveling to Welch, WV, to take on the Stingrays on Thursday, June 16. The trip takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes, give or take. Plan to arrive by 4:30 to 4:45.

Here are the directions:

Take 460 W to Princeton, WV. After you cross over I-77, you want to get on Route 20. Most folks will get on Rte 20 at the McDonald’s just past I-77. Turn right at the light, then take the left at the T-intersection (you can see the McD’s clearly). This puts you on Rte 20 and you can proceed through Princeton this way. Its pretty easy to get through Princeton, even going through town this way. If you wish to avoid Princeton, keep going on 460W and turn right on Ingleside Rd, which will take you to E Main, which will feed into Rte 20. Both of these routes will take you past Princeton Hospital, which is an important landmark for you.



As you take Rte 20 out of Princeton, you will proceed about 10 miles then come to the intersection with US Route 52.
Continue to follow US 52 for about 30 miles toward Welch. You will go through MANY small towns. The Welch team says you should watch your speed carefully in the little towns.

As you enter Welch, turn LEFT on US 52 Bypass at the Rite Aid.
Follow bypass around Welch to intersection with WV 16 and Riverside Drive.
Turn RIGHT onto Riverside Drive / Rt 16 and travel back into Welch.
Turn LEFT between the Post Office and Elkhorn Towers Apartment Buildings (on the left), drive through the parking lot and along the road that curves to the left to the Welch Pool.
