This won't help your friend, but might be of general interest... There are quite a lot of "official" parking areas in the WMA's that surprised me. Just one example, but they are all over the WMA's. You need to zoom in to levels 15, 16 or 17 to see the POI as you browse the map.

The same data I used for my map can also be downloaded for Google Earth and other software, just choose KML from the Download menu. Can't remember... I think that Garmin Basecamp can convert .kml files to .gpx for use on your GPS. You can also view a spreadsheet of all the POI at this link, just click the "Data" tab.

I normally park on the east side, on the little plateau behind the brown waypoint sign. I would say most park on the west side of the bridge nearer the canoe launch.
Just the morning and early afternoon. He moves along quite well. Today he went from Carranza to Lower Forge and back by 1:30.
Thanks to everyone for the tips.
Thats what I did the first time I walked the Batona Trail.I did it in eight section up and back because I was alone.It was middle of winter late 80's.I actually did it twice by the time I completed it
Then Bill and I walked it in four sections south to north and shuttled.My eight sections started at the north end and worked south.
