The map above shows the Whiteside Cove Cabins property. Enter the property via the turn off at 5078 Whiteside Cove rd. Drive along the gravel driveway for approximately 0.25 miles until you see the CCC parking sign on the left side of the road. There are two parking spots on the left at the lower parking area, and two parking spots 0.1 miles higher up the hill on the left. Do not park in front of any of the Cabins on the right side of the driveway or the Barn at the end of the driveway. Use 4x4 wheel drive if you drive up the gravel hill to ensure we do not damage the road.

There are a variety of climbing resources located on National Forest Service property, north west of the Whiteside Cove Cottages Property. The map above shows Whiteside Cove Cottages property and National Forest land in green. Private Property is shown in red, do not trespass. The approach is roughly 1-2 miles to various cliffs and boulders and trails do not exist. There are no plans for a trail, and foot travel is cross country. Per National Forest regulations, do not cut vegetation or dig a trail on National Forest land and practice Leave No Trace ethics. Leave shovels, saws, or any other trail tools at home. Before coming to the area, research a path that will keep you on Forest Service land if you plan to enter with the hopes of accessing climbing resources. Flagging from the parking area will lead you through Whiteside Cove property into National Forest property and you will need to find your own way from there while staying on National Forest property. Do not walk north east of the Whiteside Cove Cottage property, as this area is largely private property. It is important to note that the CCC or Whiteside Cove Cottages are only providing a feasible parking resource. CCC or Whiteside Cove Cottages do not manage, own, or hold any additional rights to accessing the nearby National Forest land.
