Here are some maps to help you if you're coming from far away...

Rockford is in Northern IL about 20 minutes from the WI/IL border, or roughly about 2 hours from Milwaukee, Dubuque, or Chicago.

Forest Hills Lodge part of the Rockford Speedway complex, which is located on the corner of Forest Hills Rd and Hwy 173. The Forest Hills Lodge Banquet Center is actually located around the corner on Hwy 173, right across from the new Menards, about 1/2 mile east of Hwy 251, even tho it shares the same street address as Rockford Speedway on Forest Hills Road.

To give you an idea of the general region...

this brings it in a little closer...

Then even closer for you... (details below)

From Hwy 251 (the blue shaded hwy)
from WI: Go South on 251, at Menards turn left on 173. Go about 1/2 mile and you'll see it on the right.
from IL: Go North on 251 and turn right at Menards towards Target. You'll see it on the right side just a 1/2 mile or so. Can't miss it!

From I90, I39, Hwy51 (the red lined hwy)-
Take the new exit going west on wy 173 (W Lane Rd) just after Hwy 11 intersection... the Forest Hills Lodge is on the left, just past the intersection of Forest Hills Rd and Hwy 173.

From Hwy 55 or Hwy 11- (take the pink hwy)
take the route 55 exit to the West (Exit 64 - E. Riverside Dr). Go left if you're coming from the south or right if you're coming from the north. Then after just a short mile or so take the first major right onto N. Perryville Rd (hwy 11) Follow it about 4 miles and at 173 go left. It's about 1/4 mile down on the left side of the road.

The red arrow points directly to the big parking lot for the Forest Hills Lodge, which in this picture is the building towards the bottom of that lot. You can see the oblong Speedway Racetrack behind it. The white building on the left side of the big red arrow is the Speedway Auto Mall, across the street a short way. All along W. Lane Rd (hwy 173 in front of the Lodge) to the left, there are many restaurants to choose from.
