There are no restrooms or water at the trailhead... So, once you’ve turned onto Windemere Parkway, look for Silva Way on the left (after about 7/10 mile). Turn left onto Silva Way and drive for 1/4 mile to the end of the road and Hidden Valley Park. There are restrooms and water at the park. Then, drive back to the intersection with Windemere Parkway, turn left and continue to Longleaf Circle.
