From OH 661 go W on Sportsman Club Road 3.5 miles to gravel road. Red barn on left (S) at this point has sign stating "4863 Sportsman Club Rd". Turn left (S) here and drive up gravel road to tower where there is room to park. Walk < 0.2 miles S on old dirt road to highpoint area.

We touched several spots including in woods and on field. We believe high point to be on a recently cleared area. The tower fence is signed against trespassing but the area around it is unsigned. We also met a friendly local homeowner who thought that it was fine to explore the area.

Note that the "radio tower" as shown on map is actually an "air traffic control tower" and is not visible from Sportsman Club Road as it is only about 25 feet high. Several other towers are in the same general region which are quite visible from the road.
