From Route 7 heading north turn right onto Route 107.  Drive 2.6 miles to Route 53 at a stop sign.  Keeping heading straight.  Drive another 2.6 miles and turn right onto Gallows Hill Road.  There is a hiking trail on the left at 0.2 of a mile (Gallows Hill Natural Area) and a hiking trail area at 0.3 of a mile (Reeve Biggers and Dan Beard Trails).  There is literally no place to park so you may have to drive up a nearby side road and park up there and then walk down.  Good luck.
