Turn south (left) at Polk Street - there is a sign on the corner pointing to historical marker. Cross over the railroad tracks and enter a gravel parking lot which for the boat ramp. The Trail of Death marker is on the south side of the parking lot. There is a tall sign beside it, so that people can find the granite block flat on the ground.
