There are couple of ways to enter the park.

Map - approach
The most frequently used path is the one from the town of Otočac. You can reach Otočac by using the Zagreb-Split highway, or the old road Josipdol-Senj, over the Kapela mountain pass. When you take off the highway, take the road to Švica and Krasno, where the park's HQ is. From the village of Krasno you can either go towards Senj, and then go left in the village Oltari (Babić-Siča entrance), or you can take a shorter road to Štirovača (from the centre of the village) and then immediately right (there is a board with roadmarks). The other way is the asphalt road to Štirovača, which is in the south-eastern part of the park. The park can be also accessed from the coast, using the road from Jablanac, but that path is not recommended because of the road's narrowness. If you use it anyway, you'll enter the park from the south-west, at the Alan mountain lodge.
The road Otočac-Krasno was recently repaired, and is the best way to enter the park.
Except of these access roads, park can be reached by macadam roads from the directions of Mrkvište, Ledena draga, Begovača and Štirovača.
You can also enter the park by using mountain trails from the coastal side - direction of Brisnice and Gornja Klada. There is also a mountain trail from Krasno all the way to the Zavižan mountain lodge.
