No motorized vehicles are permitted but if you plan on hunting the area for any length of time, you might want to carry in a canoe. To get to the trail, drive 2.5 miles from the Raquette Lake village beach via the Antlers Road and the Uncas Road to the trailhead near the Upper Pond. The trail then follows the old Sucker Brook Bay Road for about a mile before turning northwest. It is about 2.2 miles to the lake. Cranberry Pond is also in this area but is accessible only by backpacking along Sucker Brook.
Some hunters choose to fly into remote sections of the forest.
Seaplane service is available from Long Lake.
