stonetracker visited on 1st Dec 2024 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Ozier Mound (Mound 5) is one of several sites in the Western Section of the park. It is a rectangular platform mound, second in height only to Sauls' Mound.
Getting there is a bit obscure due to lack of signage. The easiest way is from Route 197 outside the park. Follow Route 197 east and look for the Pinson Reforestation Complex sign, which is about a mile west of the park entrance. Take a right and head south about a half mile to a dirt parking lot. There is a kiosk here with a trailhead that leads west in 100-200 yards to a very large, obvious Mound.
If you are within the park, follow the one way loop road nearly to the park exit. About 100 yds before the exit, take the dirt road on the left (unsigned and easy to miss) and follow it back about a mile south and west past a maintenance area to the dirt parking lot and trail head referenced above.

Robert Mainfort pointed out the astronomical alignment of Ozier mound when he discovered that the ramp on the north-east side was a few degrees from a perfect alignment with summer solstice sunrise.
