Beaver at Fawn Lake (by the Limekiln Loons)

From the south, take Route 28 north past Old Forge & Eagle Bay about 10 miles, then just north of Inlet past the laundromat. Turn at the next right onto the Limekiln Road... the IVES(Inlet Volunteer Emergency Services) facility is on the corner.

From the north, take Route 28 south about 10 miles from Raquette Lake, turning left onto the Limekiln Road just past the Inlet Golf Club... the IVES(Inlet Volunteer Emergency Services) facility is on the corner.

Proceed up the hill & over the summit, ~2.5 miles total, past the Campsite Road and the former Marie's Pie Shop/Limekiln Chalet A-Frame building in the clearing on the left.

Nearing the end of Limekiln Road just past the old Ranger's house on the left, there is a dirt road left turn into the Moose River Plains, don't take this left, take the next immediate left onto the paved Parkhurst Road(Limekiln Road continues down to the lake, now visible).

Take Parkhurst to the end and park in the parking lot or along the road. Walk up the gravel driveway that is the continuation of Parkhurst Rd. You will be passing through private property. Please be respectful. There is a garage on the left with a small “Fawn Lake” sign and an arrow pointing left. Go behind the garage and take the trail. It’s about a 5 minute hike on the unmarked but well traveled trail to Fawn Lake.

With your back to the old hunting cabin and facing the lake, go right and cross the creek carefully. The water is usually not above the rocks, so it’s easy to cross on the rocks. There are several large boulders on the other side of the creek (to the left). Go up on the largest rock with a clump of yellow birch trees growing on it with the tops broken off. Look under the roots of the downhill trunks. Please hide this well after stamping and re-wrap & seal well!
