From the parking area at the railroad trestle, take the paved trail along the river until it runs into a grass trail. Stay on grass trail until it runs into pavement again. The trail then comes to a spot where you can go straight, or turn right. Go right, over a small stream, then take a left onto another grass trail. Follow this into a large wooded area and listen for the Swainson's singing.
