Log Text: The mound is a short walk from a parking area outside the small town. In the park there is a 1936 walking bridge over a small creek, then the trail winds up a hill from what i remember, up to the mound; the entire area is in trees. It's a bit difficult to see, as the mound structure itself is not very tall. A split-rail fence circles the mound, but the rock pile nearby appears as if you are just standing next to some landscaping project.
When I visited in 2012, there were still signs that the park was closed, however, I was on a bicycle and was easily able to access the site and walk up (was on a tour with 2500 other cyclists, but I believe only a handful took the time to go see the mound).
Quite an interesting and apparently rarely visited location, yet easy to access.
