    Cycling

    To get to Lake McKnight from Lake Jonathan, which is located to the south, you have two options. You can either portage your bike over a railroad track or cross the railroad tracks using an abandoned bridge on McKnight Road to the west. After crossing, you can take a trail heading back east to reach Lake McKnight.
