  Access: Located south of Kentucky-Alleyne Provincial Park, access is off Highway 97C via the Loon Lake Exit. Drive slowly through the Provincial Park and turn left just after the park gate. Continue driving this road for about 3 kilometres to the site. Access is also available along Highway 5A about 10 minutes south of Aspen Grove. Turn into the road going to Kentucky-Alleyne Provincial Park and just before you reach the Provincial Park gate turn right. Continue driving this rough and narrow road for about 4 kilometres to the site. The gravel road is deemed to be a 4 x 4 road as it becomes somewhat rough and has a few steep sections the further you go in. There are few turnouts as well so it is not recommended for large motorhomes, 5th wheels, trailers or cars with low clearance.

Whether a lake is open to ice fishing says nothing about whether its ice will hold you. Ice conditions vary year to year and across a single lake. Check locally before going out, every time.
