Directions

Belwin is located at 1553 Stagecoach Trail South in Afton, Minnesota. We are located about two miles south of Interstate 94. All the internet mapping websites get the directions to Belwin wrong (see below) so please follow these directions from Interstate 94. There is no exit on I 94 for Stagecoach Trail so you will have to navigate there from an adjacent intercgange.

For direction to the Lucy Winton Bell Athletic Fields, please refer to this page.

On Stagecoach Trail

  1. From I94, travel South on Stagecoach Trail for 2 miles.
  2. The road twists and turns a fair amount. Be on the lookout for Belwin on your left at 1553. It is easy to miss. If you cross the stream you have gone too far.
  3. Drive in and park in the lot immediately ahead and to your left. Our office is just up the stairs across from the parking lot.

Warning About Internet Maps

All of the internet-based mapping services get the directions to Belwin wrong. There are many routes to Belwin from I94 that are shorter in road miles than that listed above. Most of the other routes lead you on small back-roads that (in most cases) will get you here, but Hudson Road to Stagecoach Trail is both faster and more direct because it follows major streets.

Google Maps

These directions have you turn from Hudson Road onto Indian Trail. This will work, but Indian Trail is a windy road. Keep with it and you will find yourself on Stagecoach Trail just north of the entrance to Belwin. Turn right and our entrance will be just ahead on your left.

Yahoo Maps & Mapquest

In this case, you are directed to turn from Hudson Road onto Neal Avenue, then onto 15th Street. This should work, but you are libel to miss a turn onto one of these smaller roads. 15th meets Stagecoach Trail just south of our Driveway. Make a left onto a Stagecoach, cross the stream and turn right into Belwin.

Microsoft Live Maps

These directions do not work so don't follow them. They direct you to get off at exit 258 which is past Belwin, and then take 15th Street back which in fact dead ends from the east. If you get off at exit 258, follow the directions from Wisconsin above.
