If you take Highway M22 north out of Arcadia for a few miles, you'll come to Joyfield Road. Turn right at Joyfield Road and drive a few more miles until you come to Blaine Church. Turn right at the church onto Putney Road and drive about a quarter mile past the church. Turn the car around and drive downhill back towards the church.

Stop your car at the bottom of the hill, put your car in neutral and take your foot off the brake. The car will roll uphill several hundred yards back towards the church.

I have heard several explanations for Gravity Hill, some of them having to do with the nearby church, one of them having to do with Indian burial grounds, and one of them having to do with the mysterious disappearance of Happy Mac as chronicled in the 1929 History of Herring Lake. If you choose, you can believe that something supernatural is at work, or that there's a natural phenomenon at work. You can also choose to believe a much less exciting explanation from Wikipedia.
