Clues for Your Hike

  1. After turning onto Skiway Avenue (if coming from Waynesboro Pike/Buchanan Trail), take the first left (before the bridge) into the parking area in front of the park.
  2. From that parking area, carefully cross the road in the middle of the park and pick up the paved path to the right of the playground that is across the road.
  3. At the fork on the path, stay left (don’t cross the bridge). The playground will continue to be on the left, and a creek will be on the right.
  4. Follow the trail to a small pavilion and turn left on the park road.
  5. The post will be located on a tree to the right of the road near the picnic tables.
  6. Continue on the path following the road back to the parking area.
