Go to McCall, Idaho. Head north on Warren Wagon Road, past Upper Payette Lake, along the Secesh River until you get to Chinook Campground. From here the hike is approximately ten miles round-trip.

From Chinook Campground, take trail #080. This trail follows the Secesh River south towards Loon Creek. Just above Loon Creek take trail #084 west. This trail becomes rocky and steep with many switch-backs, irsing 800 feet in elevation in 1.3 miles.

Trail #084 intersects with trail #081. Here there are two choices:

1. Continue south along #081, leaving the trail to bushwack your way south along the east side of the lake.

2. Continue south along #081 to the junction of trail #084. Head west again on #084. This trail runs 1.75 miles south along the west side of Loon Lake. Where the trail meets Loon Creek, leave the trail to follow the creek north to Loon Lake.

The wreckage is on the south side of Loon Lake, approximately 150 feet into the trees.

You may return the way you came, or you may follow trail #081 back north to Chinook Campground. Be aware that on #081, you must cross the Secesh River to reach the campground and there is no bridge. This is not advised during late spring and early summer or any time there is high water.
