Directions
To get to the access trail drive through Deep Cove. The road will take a sharp turn to the right and then dip down into the Deep Cove valley. After driving up the other side of the valley the road turns left. On the right there is a gravel road (Bradford Cove Road) that enters the woods.
If you have a vehicle with some clearance you can drive further in the road but we usually park in the wide area just inside the road on the right and walk. The road gets progressiveley more rough and narrow and eventually turns into an ATV Trail.
