From International Falls/Fort Frances Border to Sioux Lookout. First piece of advice is to gas up as you are looking at a 2 hour drive with only lakes, rock and trees - no gas stations. Take highway 11 East to reach Highway 502 North and travel time roughly 2 hours. First stop is Highway 594 and turn right - go through Dryden until you reach Highway 17 East (referred to as the Queen’s Highway). At Dinorwic (roughly 20 minute drive) turn left onto Highway 72 and drive until you see the Country Camping Billboard at Fred and Dee’s corner. This is Highway 664 where you turn left. Travel three miles until you see the second Country Camping Billboard. Turn left onto Country Camping road. Well Done and WELCOME!!!!!!
