From I-164 exit 15, go east on New Harmony Road. Turn left on Zoar Church Road. Turn left on Boonville New Harmony Road, a gravel road that becomes Gander Road. Go past the saw mill activity. Turn right and go up a hill on a short dead end road. Park in the turn around and walk a few feet up the hill. If you get to Saint John's Road, you went too far.
