The Park is mostly to blame here as they link directly to Google Maps despite the error. http://www.stateparks.com/round_valley.html http://www.stateparks.com/round_valley.html If you use the 'official' embedded directions form it will take you to this residential area. http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=washington&daddr=40.6125%2C-74.825+%28Round+Valley+State+Park%29&hl=en http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=washington&daddr=40.61... Surely the park should have checked this before publishing it (or even better - chosen to embed a map with a correct destination).

The Park is mostly to blame here as they link directly to Google Maps despite the error. Huh? Stateparks.com isn't the "official" site for the park, it's a 3rd-party aggregator of park information from states across the USA. The official park website (http://www.njparksandforests.org/parks/round.html http://www.njparksandforests.org/parks/round.html or http://www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/parks/round.html http://www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/parks/round.html) link to MapQuest to generate directions.

  Did you see how terrible that MapQuest link is though? It just points you to the city, not the street address.

  My bad - I just followed the link from the article. So it's Stateparks.com fault?

It looks like Bing and Mapquest show the same thing mistake.

  Google Maps works correctly if you get directions to "Round Valley State Park". Bing Maps still shows the error if you use the name of the park. Mapquest, I couldn't get it to find the park at all (it kept trying to find locations near me). I gave up. :-/
