Not far off Rt. 6 on 590 is the natural area's parking and information center. Access to the Blue Trail. About 3 miles, it is recommended to hike counterclockwise (up the hill) from the parking area. Enjoy the many varieties of trees and wildlife. There are other unmarked trails, especially the one along the 60-acre Beech House Creek Wildlife Refuge.
