To Cedar Ridge Conference and Retreat Center From Portland:
Cedar Ridge Conference & Retreat Center is approximately 50 minutes from Portland.
Regardless of whether you are coming from Hwy 217 or from downtown Portland, head west on Hwy 26
toward the beach.
From the intersection of Hwy 26 W and 217, you will travel west for 23.6 miles.
Look for the turnoff for Hwy 47 S. BUT DO NOT take this turn off.
Keep your eyes open for a Shell Gas Station on the left hand side. Shortly after the Shell Gas Station, you
will see a sign for “VERNONIA 15 MILES”.
Take Hwy 47 N to Vernonia. Follow 47 N all the way into Vernonia. Watch your speed limit, b/c the police
will watch it too 
Veer right at the flashing yellow light onto Bridge Street.
Travel through town (this will happen quickly… it’s a small town) and go across the bridge.
Approximately one block ahead, look for the NAPA store on the left. Turn immediately before the NAPA
store onto State Avenue / Rock Creek / Keasey Road.
Travel 1.3 miles on Keasey / State Avenue. When you see the orange house on your left, there will be a
small hill and then the road curves left. At the end of the curve, you will see the sign for “CEDAR RIDGE”
on your left.
Pull into the drive, and make your first right into the parking area. Walk down the sawdust trail to the
Lodge and we will greet you for registration.
