Stay on Upper Hibernia Road for 2.7 miles, (It turns into dirt road) to a large white gravel parking lot on left. This area has access to the Beaver Pond trail and the
Wildlife Management Center.
A second lot is further down on the right. There is a brown sign with :
Wildcat Ridge WMA, Hawkwatch/Overlook Trail
Park at either location.
Just past the sign, on the left are two white gate posts. Enter and walk, to just before the yellow gate. Turn right here, and follow the orange blazed trail to the
site. (20-25 minute walk.) If you prefer, you can go around the yellow gate, and follow the road to the site. (15-20 minute walk.) Following the telephone lines all the way. At
about 3/4 mile up, you will see a large pile of stone (cairn) on right. Turn there and that trail joins the orange trail in about 35 feet.
