Directions:
We will be meeting at the Shenango Wildlife Area parking area off of Milligan East Road (41.370557, -80.545198). The following directions are from Orangeville, Ohio. Where SR 609 ends in Orangeville, turn left (go North) on Stateline Road and then left again after about a mile onto Orangeville-Kinsman Rd. Proceed about 3 miles to the first road on the left, Milligan Road, and turn left. Go about a mile, and park in the large gravel parking lot on the left side of the road. Contrary to what most maps show, Milligan Road is not open all the way west to SR 7.
