===- Notes -===
Park here and you will see a trail that leads down the hill and away from the parking area with the reservoir your left. Go over the small bridge where the trail goes over a creek. That is where you want to cross the road & enter the woods. Look for a large white sign with red letters saying "$35 to $90 Fine For Littering". I have found the best way to walk to the ledge is to stand next to the sign and use a compass. Dial your compass to 260* and walk straight. Total walking time is about 10 minutes.
