Where
Stan Jones Mallard Lodge 20 Lawrence 5430
Hoxie, AR 72433
Driving Directions
From Jonesboro, go North on Hwy. 63 until you get to 67 South to Newport/Little Rock. Turn left on 67 South. Go about 7 miles to Minturn and turn right on Hwy. 228. Follow 228 for 6 or 8 miles and the pavement makes a sharp turn to the right and you turn left on the gravel at that point. There are huge grain bins so you can’t miss it. The lodge and lake are as big as a football field, so again, you can’t miss that either.
