 Howdy;  I found these directions a bit confusing.  Take Pleasant Lake
 rd. west off 52 to the big left bend, and go right.  P.L. rd. ends at
 the bend, which follows Sharon Hollow rd. south (paved); turning right
 (onto gravel) takes Sharon Hollow rd. north. Head north, take the
 first left (Eusades rd.), trail head will be on your left ~1/2 mile
 down, just before Jacob rd.  Sharon Hollow IS NOT the first road to
 the right on P.L. rd. past 52, it's the THIRD right. Page 32, c1,
 Delorme gazeteer.  And yes indeedy, take mud boots, but try to stay on
 the trails, the wet spots are super-sensitive, esp. in spring.  Have
 fun!  DBS

--From Ann Arbor take 94 west
--take the M52 exit and go south
--turn west on Pleasant Lake Rd  & go several miles to Sharon Hollow Rd
--do a little jog to the right onto Eusades & go west a bit until you
  see the refuge sign on the left (it's across from a small house). 
  There's room for a few cars to park off the road there.  
--Wearboots--despite the bits of boardwalk it's generally very mucky.
