Good to know

This is the lot at the base of Mt. Philo, for visitors who park and climb rather than drive the park road to the summit. The state lists the whole park as a fee area and charges per person, but its page does not say where payment is taken for people who park here and walk in, so be ready to pay on arrival. The space count (60 including 2 accessible) is from OpenStreetMap, not the state. Buses and limos are barred from the road and can park here.
