From Marquette, take US-41 west through Champion and past Van Riper State Park. Just after crossing the Peshekee River turn right (north) onto County Road 607 (also known as the Peshekee Grade). This road is blacktopped but do not be deceived. It is very rough so drive slow. From the US-41 / County Road 607 intersection, drive 4.2 miles to Dishno Road. There will be an "EMS Pickup" sign at the corner. Turn right (east) onto gravel Dishno Road. After approximately 1.6 miles, Dishno Road heads east. Turn slightly left, heading in a northeast direction and follow this unnamed, but good, gravel road for another 6.1 miles to Carlson's Corner (total mileage from County Road 607 = 7.7 miles). At Carlson's Corner turn right (east) and continue to follow this unnamed road for about 3.2 miles where the trail crosses. You will cross the Dead River about 0.5 mile before reaching the trail. Parking is just south of the trail off the east side of Unnamed Road.
