Begin at the park’s Highway 47 entrance. Turn right (west) onto Highway 47 and proceed 1.9 miles. Turn right at the State Forestry entrance and drive through the short tunnel that is under the railroad track overpass. Park near the cable gate visible from the tunnel. Follow the trail which ends at the cemetery, a one half (0.5) mile walk. This cemetery is partially maintained by the family and burials still occur.

Special thanks to Sam Reed who not only wrote the above, but also compiled the inventory of headstones in this cemetery.
