Sorry, I forgot to mention Greenwood Lake, site of Smith's Longspurs, is in far northern Cook County, at the south border of the BWCA.
The helibase overlooking its north shore is off a narrow, rough forest road which will be marked as 313, but nobody up there goes by road numbers. Helibase coordinates are here: 48.019662, -90.172017 This is rugged country and can be tricky to navigate if you don't have a compass in your vehicle. No cell service. The road up the hill to the base is very rough, with lots of eroded gravel and large, sharp rocks to drive over. For what it's worth: this is considered one of the best areas to reliably see moose nowadays. More info here: https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/fisheries/slice/greenwood-lake.html -- Jason M.
