Cross Sandy Creek and the metal bridge, head up the hill and near the crest is a large parking lot on the left. (Entering from the north take Rt 965 So from Polk to Slatertown Rd south to 3rd parking lot on the right).
Walk past metal gate in the parking lot and hike approximately 0.6 mi on the nicely cleared road to a branch in the trails. Take the smaller left branch for 0.2 mi and meet a wide pipeline clearing running at right angles. (This is the northern most of two pipelines and the cemetery lies between them). Turn right on the pipeline and hike up the hills for 0.4 mi to near the crest. Entering from the left is a small road leading back to a feedplot about 0.1 mile through the woods. On the far side (SW) of the feedplot is the Simcox Cemetery.
