'''Fort Knox''' is a US Army post in Kentucky.
Get in
US 31W runs roughly North/South next to Fort Knox; drivers may access the Brandenburg Station Road, Chaffee Avenue, and Wilson Road Gates, as they travel North to South, respectively. 31W connects Elizabethtown 15 minutes to the South, and Louisville about 60 minutes to the North. Further East runs I65, also connecting Elizabethtown and Louisville. KY 313, running East/West, brings in traffic from I-65 to the east, via exit 102.
Get around
Not much effort seems to have been made to make navigating around post easy; most signs for buildings use difficult-to-read "military speak" (for example, the Leader's Club sign is marked: DIRECTORATE OF MORALE, WELFARE, AND RECREATION, and in relatively tiny text at the bottom: Leader's Club). However, almost every street intersection is clearly labeled, though the existing signs differ for some roads from the names given by Google Maps.
The Fort Knox MWR Guidebook (available at several locations around post) has probably the best map of post available to the average visitor.
