Ferne Clyffe State Park can be reached from I-57 and I-24. The park is well signed from both interstate highways. 

• If traveling on I-57, take Goreville exit #40.  Head east 5 miles to IL Rt. 37.  Turn right (south) on Rt. 37.  Park entrance is 1 mile south of Goreville. 
• If traveling on I-24, take Goreville exit #7.  Head west 2 miles to IL Rt. 37.  Turn left (south) on Rt. 37.  Park entrance is ½ mile.

From the park entrance, drive 0.5 miles to the stop sign and turn left.  From the stop sign, drive 0.8 miles to the fork by the lake and turn right.  From the fork, follow the road for 1.7 miles to the parking area before the turn around loop.  

On the North side of the parking area (opposite the bathrooms), cross the creek at the round stepping stones.  Once across the creek, follow the first trail on the right marked as Rebman Trail.  Stay to the right, the bluff is about 100 ft down the trail where there is sign designated for climbing.  As a point of reference: Facing the bluffs near the sign, head to the right to find Hawk's Beak.
