Near the top of Hoosier Pass on the south side, County Road 4 accesses Mongomery Reservoir. Wheeler Lake Road turns off of 4 and winds around to the northwest side of the reservoir. That's where I began my hike, here near the remains of Magnolia Mill. It is possible to drive to Wheeler Lake via Wheeler Lake Road but I wouldn't attempt it in anything but a very heavy-duty high-clearance four-wheel-drive vehicle.
