To get to Westport Road take I-265 to exit 33. Go west on Westport Road. Freys Hill Road is about a mile or so on the left. A BP and Thornton Gas Stations are on the corner. Take a left and go south pass the main parking lot to the next entrance to the park. There is a parking lot at the end on the left next to an archery range. You will see a walking path across the road. Go to your left on the walking path. Pass the entrance to the nature trail and continue walking until you come to a gravel road.
