There are two parking lots. Drive 0.54 mile south on an unnamed gravel frontage road on the west side of Interstate 35 off of County Road 18 to a parking lot with a gravel surface. Beyond this there is a DNR Minimum Maintenance Public Road, a two-rut road, with a gate across the entrance. If the gate is open there is another parking lot with a gravel surface one-half mile south on this road. |
