About
A small, partially treed site on Howell Creek.
Road access. Maintained to Recreation Sites and Trails BC standards by a partner or contractor. Facilities on file: toilets, picnic tables, fire rings. First come, first served.
Getting there: At Morrissey on Hwy 3, turn off onto the Morrissey Road. This is the same road to Morrissey Provincial Park. Continue past the park and cross the Elk River. Turn right and follow Morrissey Road to the 17 km road marker. Continue straight ahead at the 17 km road marker crossing over Morrissey Creek. Here you will see the Lodgepole FSR sign. Continue straight ahead over a low pass to the 25 km road marker. The road forks here, take the left fork going up Lodgepole Creek. The Lodgepole FSR turns into the Flathead FSR @ Harvey Creek. Stay on the Flathead FSR, travelling south, passed the junction with the Ram Creek FSR. The Howell Creek Recreation Site is just passed the bridge crossing Howell Creek on the right.
