Hi James, The park is rather small and parking on either side of it will get you to the trail you wish to take. Nearly all (maybe all?) tie into the boardwalk. If you want to start right off in some woods when you start hiking, from 57 North you'll pass the Blacksmith Inn bed and breakfast on the right, then there will be "Ridges Rd" branching off to the right (The Ridges Sanctuary Building is also at this intersection). The very next road on the right is "Lakeview". Take Lakeview and entrance/parking for The Ridges will be on the right.
