Users must cross a stream or walk across a footbridge. Access is along several miles of gravel road (FS Rt. 83 from FS Rt. 76) 7 miles from the turn off of WV 39/55 at the old (out of business) Blue Goose Restaurant.
THE SECOND WAY is to start at the stop light in Richwood. All mileage shown is from the stop light. Go up Oakford Avenue (North) for 0.1 mile and turn right on Cranberry Street.
Go to mile 2.9 and turn left on US Forest Service Road 83. Go to mile 3.3 (0.4 mile from turn off Cranberry) and turn left at the Camp Splinter sign. Continue on US Forest Service Road 83 to the end. This is a total of 6.4 miles from the traffic light.
