Getting there

Drive past Duck Lake as the off-road route transitions entirely into rough, rugged terrain. You will absolutely need a lifted truck, a sturdy Jeep, or a reliable four-wheeler to make the journey safely past tricky spots that require adept driving skills and a well-maintained vehicle.

The hike

There is no hiking required to reach this destination. The rugged off-road track leads you past Chain Lakes and brings your high-clearance vehicle right off the side of the road along the shore of Lake WGN.

Tips & safety

  • Driving: Do not attempt this stretch in a standard car or low-clearance vehicle. It features technical spots requiring a true 4x4 or ATV.

  • Fishing: WYG&F historical reports indicate this lake is in the late stages of eutrophication and is no longer a viable fishery, which lines up with the slow fishing we experienced in this chain.
