Turn left on FR 166 and drive 5 miles to Co 7. Turn right on Co 7. Drive approx 5 miles to FR 172 (Wanless Rd). Turn left. Hogback Lake is a very short distance from Co 7 on FR 172 on the left. Access to the hiking trails and backcountry sites is also located off Co 7 before reaching FR 172 at a sign reading 'Steer Lake'. Alternatively, get onto Co 7 at MN 1 in Finland.
