FYI: Menogyn is located on the wilderness side of West Bearskin with no direct road access. Upon arrival in the parking lot in the summer time we'll meet you with a pontoon boat. In the winter time, we walk across the frozen lake on a packed trail. We have one snowmobile to help people with special needs.
