It is visible from Smithville Road. The single road into the park is gated at the base of the hill can sometimes be closed to vehicles. The road is one lane to the top of hill where there is a picnic table, small parking lot and open grass space with large trees. There are no obvious hiking trails other than stairs made of tires (west of road into park). |
