From the gate, the Maze Stone is a 2/10s of a mile uphill walk on an old asphalt road with gravel and weeds. It is located among weeds a short distance off on the right, behind two security fences.

At the end of the road and up the paved and little used road. Off to the right surrounded by chain link fence. Apparently abandoned by County Park Service.
