No fee.

Take your best route to I-80 and State Route 7 (Exit 234: Hubbard, OH). Follow Route 7 north (watch for Y split, Route 7 veers off to the left, across the opposing traffic lanes) approximately one mile to Chestnut Ridge Road. Turn left onto Chestnut Ridge Road (there is a convenience store on the right side of the road) and follow approximately 1/5 mile. Site will be on the left. The site is very well marked. If you go under the railroad bridge, you've gone too far.
