Directions to Dorman Lake From Hwy 82 (Starkville) From Highway 82 (whether coming from Winona from the west or Columbus from the east), take the “Highway 25 South/Louisville” exit. Travel south for approximately 10 miles. You will pass the sign for the Mississippi Horse Park and the turn to Old Highway 25. You will also pass the Mississippi State University sign for the Charles E. Burkhardt Pavilion & Site (open area with pavilion). Continue on Highway 25 past the John W. Starr Memorial Forest RV Park which is located just beyond the Burkhardt site. At 10 miles, turn left at the top of the hill onto Dorman Lake Road (gravel). Unfortunately, the road sign is hard to see from the south-bound lane. After turning onto Dorman Lake Road, proceed 0.8 miles until you see Dorman Lake and the drive to the lodge on your right.

From Louisville (coming north on Hwy 25) Travel north toward Starkville for approximately 21.5 miles. As you approach Starkville, you will see Craig Springs Road on your left. Craig Springs Road is located 2.4 miles south of Dorman Lake Road. Pass Craig Springs Road and proceed 2.4 miles to Dorman Lake Road (gravel). At 21.5 miles (from Louisville), turn right onto Dorman Lake Road. Proceed 0.8 miles until you see Dorman Lake and the drive to the lodge on your right.
