About

The section between the two sites can be rated at grade 2 with a small section of grade 3 under the Bush River Road Bridge, visible from the road.
Road access. User-maintained site with no regular servicing. Facilities on file: boat launch, toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, parking. First come, first served.
Getting there: Take Bush River FSR near Donald, turn left at 3km and follow branch for about 2km until you reach the Recreation Site. The 2km branch can be rough
