If the gate is open, drive through. The road will split left and right. Take the right! It splits again, this time take the left! If you have a 4wheeler, sxs, or vehicle ment for off-road travel, perfect drive down. If not hike up till it runs out of road, you made it. Climb down and enjoy a special spot! We saw little fish and crawdads.
