(Take Gralake or Parklake off Jackson Road.) This is at the back side of the park, along Parklake Lane/Road/Street. Lakewood Street comes in to Parklake at the south end of the Waterthrush Hotel. A block or less up Lakewood you will see an entrance to Lakewood Woods. The path into the woods runs alongside a house.
