If the golf course is closed, or you are concerned that you may not be out of the woods before the parking lot gates are closed (half hour after sundown), then park at the High School. Facing the High School, you will see a fenced in athletic field on a hill to the left. A short path runs in front of the fence which connects to the golf course parking lot right at the beginning of the nature trail.
