To get to the trailhead, head South from the intersection of Port Republic Road and South Main Street (Route 11). Make a right at South Avenue and continue past South High Street. When you reach the dead end at the top of the hill on South Dogwood Drive, you're at the starting point. Take a right past the sign and right again into the woods to hit the trails.
