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, notice the towering pine tree (look up to see that it is a pine) at the near end of the beaver dam at the edge of the lake. Standing on the roots of this tree, look to the left into the woods over a well-decayed stump. There is a very large moss-covered boulder about 30 paces past the old stump. Note that there is a smaller boulder a bit closer and to the left, but this is not the right one. Walk to the large boulder. There is a large yellow birch tree on standing roots in front of the boulder. The box is under the roots of this tree under some bark.
