Starting from the parking area at Rte 4 and Rte 7 in Cornwall Bridge, cross the bridge and find Dark Entry Rd. Follow the road upwards, a vigorous climb, to its end. Here the trail follows a stream on an old logging road, crossing the stream and continuing on a rocky, somewhat inconsistently marked section which follows the stream on the right. This is private property and hikers are required to stay on the trail. The trail passes a waterfall and recrosses the stream heading gradually uphill. A series of stepping stones help the hiker avoid some wet ground in several sections. The trail curls left around a large collection of boulders and heads uphill again to the first outlook.
