"Derby Hill Bird Observatory is located on Sage Creek Drive just east of the town of Texas (off Rt. 104B) in Oswego County. ...From Syracuse, the easiest way to reach Derby is to take I-81 north to exit 34, which is Route 104. Turn west on 104. Drive 6 miles to the village of Mexico. Turn right (north) at the traffic light onto Route 3. Drive north on Rt. 3 for 4 miles to the intersection with Route 104B. Turn left (west) on Rt. 104B and drive one-half mile. Sage Creek Drive will be on your right. Watch out for the green signs for Derby Hill traveling either direction on 104B."
North Lookout: " Continue north on Sage Creek Drive 0.7 of a mile from 104B, past the south lookout. To the right you will notice a drive ascending the hill on the north side of the hedgerow. Trails from Lot 2 provide easy access to the north lookout. Follow signs to the Observatory and Bluff"
