here's directions
The race is held on Big Sturgeon Lake, about 20 miles
north of Hibbing. You can access the lake from the
south end at Sixberry's Landing, or on the east side
at McCarthy's Beach State Park (Vehicle permits are
required for the state park entrance). From Hibbing
take Hwy 169 north towards Chisholm, turn north on Hwy
5 towards Side Lake. From Hwy 5 you can follow the
signs to McCarthy beach aprox 17 miles, when you get
to the park, turn left (towards the swimming beach and
boat landing) when you go down the boat landing the
race is to your left (west), there will be a plowed
road to the race, aprox 1/2 mile. The other option is
Sixberry's Landing, go north on Hwy 5 aprox 15 miles
turn left on Greenrock Road, take that about 3 miles
across one bridge and just before the second bridge
you come to Sixberry's landing right on the lake.
There will be a plowed road from there, it is about 1
mile thru a long bay before you get to the big lake,
when you hit the big lake take the road to the right
along the south shore, you can see the race from
there. It is a lot easier than it sounds, if you get
to Side Lake and get lost just ask anybody for
directions, most people know about the race.
