Directions & parking

Take Barbourtown Road north to Breezy Hill Road. Bear left onto Breezy Hill Road. Proceed to the top of the hill, where the pavement ends. Park here.

To reach the Capen Cabin, follow the unblazed path that veers north-northeast. You’ll pass the cabin’s pump house first(not currently working). After about 200 yards, you’ll arrive at the cabin itself.

(From the parking area, you also have access to the yellow-blazed Ted Wright Trail, which heads due north.)
