From Bridgewater, take US 42 south 3 miles toward Mossy Creek. Take SR 747 (Iron Works Road/Mossy Creek Road) west and follow signs toward Natural Chimneys Regional Park for 3 miles to Mt. Solon. Turn right and take Natural Chimneys Road (SR 731) north about 1 mile. Turn left onto North River Road (SR 730) and follow it for 3 miles to the Stokesville junction. Turn right and take Stokesville Road (SR 718) for 1 mile to FDR 95. Turn left on 95 following signs to Todd Lake for 200 yards. Turn right at White Oak National Recreation Trail. Walk about ¼ mile up the paved road (toward Todd Lake) to the first hiking trail on the left. It is marked with a white-painted hiker on a wood marker.

BOX CLUE: Follow the river down the trail. After 1/8-1/4 mile, you’ll come to a long flat stretch of rocks on the left that overlooks the North River below. Stand on the rocks and enjoy the view! (But please be careful, it’s a long way down!) Keep going. You’ll pass a small tree on the left with 2 white paint marks denoting the trail. Stop and enjoy another beautiful view of the river! Continue on past a second tree with two white paint marks on the left. Soon you’ll see an old concrete cistern on the right. Continue on a short way until you see a suspension bridge on the left. Cross the bridge and look under the bottom step of the bridge. Please be discrete when finding and replacing this box!
