This section of the Uwharrie National Forrest is open to the public all-year-round, and has primitive camping sites within it. Some of the sites are accessible by vehicle, others require hiking to get to.

A parking lot near this cache is located next to NC Highway 24/27, and is approximately one mile East (on NC 24/27) of the Uwharrie Sportsman gas station and intersection of NC 24/27 and River Rd.

National Forrest parking lot: N35°18.652' W080°02.603' The cache site is located approximately 1.13 kilometers East from this parking lot. The Dutchman's Creek Trail is marked periodically by yellow dots that are spray painted on trees and rocks along the trail. It is easy to get off the trail, so stay alert for the trail markers.
