right onto the Fletcher Creek Road. Remain on the most travelled portion of this road for 13.5 km
to a logging landing on the right. Turn down towards this landing and park your vehicle here. Follow
a skid road to the trailhead.

Trail
|
This is a steep rustic trail into an alpine lake area. The trail starts on a skid
road in a cutblock, and winds its way through dense sub-alpine forest and creekside vegetation
to the east end of the lake. The area is heavily used by grizzly bears and site users should take
care to make noise when hiking. Hike in groups, and store food out of bear-reach and well away
from campsites. The site provides good backcountry camping and fishing. Picture1
