From MD 108 northeast of Clarksville, go south on Trotter Road 0.9 mile to a small gravel parking lot on the left. A wooden sign in the lot says Middle Patuxent Environmental Area. OR: Go west from US 29 on MD 32 to Exit 19, Great Star Drive (there is no access to Great Star Drive from MD 32 eastbound). Turn right on Great Star Drive and within 100 ft. (at the traffic light), turn right on Summer Sunrise Drive. In less than 0.1 mile, turn left on Trotter Road. Go north on Trotter Road 1.3 miles to the parking lot (described above) on the right.
