About
A small, partially treed site on the Wigwam River.
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 the Morrissey on Hwy 3, turn off onto the Morrissey Road. This is the same road that goes 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 Road sign. Continue straight ahead, over a low pass, to the 25 km road marker. Take the right fork (Ram Creek FSR). Just after the 29 km road marker, you will cross the Lodgepole Creek. The recreation site is just past the 44 km road marker, at the junction of the Wigwam River FSR and the Ram Creek FSR.
