About

Road access. Maintained to Recreation Sites and Trails BC standards by a partner or contractor. Facilities on file: toilets, fire rings, picnic tables. First come, first served.
Getting there: Follow the Batnunni Road to 118km, turn right onto the P road, follow for 4km and turn left into site
