Driving to Loon Lake Lodge

People who are driving to Loon Lake should follow directions on a map app (Google Maps, Apple Maps, Ways, etc.) using the address in this information form. There is an entrance gate that requires a code for access - which is in the form. Once you are in the Malcolm Knapp Research Forest, the forest cover interferes with cell/mobile phone signals. Follow the signs on the road to Loon Lake Lodge.
