DIRECTIONS: from Truro. (Exit1 4) drive south on HWY102, 13km to Exit12 (Brookfield), turning eastward onto HWY289, known as Brookfield Dean Road. Drive 13.5km along this road until Middle Stewiacke, then turn right onto South Branch Rd. Continue 10km along this road until its conclusion, then turn left onto Stewiacke Road. Continue along this road approximately 2km, at 45N1 0.230 63W03.447, watching for an ATV trail on the right hand side, at the top of a hill just before a house, if you pass the house and a bunch of no trespassing signs, you've gone too far along the road. Pull just off the road.
