Continue on River Rd. until it ends, which is when the road turns right and becomes Lower Church Hill Rd. At this juncture turn left and down into the dirt parking area (if full there's another parking area just beyond the small bridge). Meet at the easily identifiable trailhead at the edge of the parking area.
