From Dumfries, take the A710 Solway Coast Road south for 14 miles. The access path to the reserve is approximately one mile north of the village of Kirkbean.

Livestock is often present on the access path to the reserve (which is often rough and muddy). An unsurfaced path is maintained through the reedbed to the Merse.
