About
The Maiyuk Creek Recreation Site is located adjacent to a recently logged area offering views of the surrounding peaks. A log rail horse corral is situated at each of the three sunny sites. Campsites receive moderate use as a staging area for trips into Height of the Rockies Provincial Park via the Middle Fork Trail or Maiyuk Creek Trail to Connor Lakes.
The Recreation Sites and Trails program also offers horse corrals at the Mt. Forsythe Recreation Site. This site is located at the hunter vehicle closure at km 59 on the Middle Fork FS Road. Both sites are maintained by the Lake Windermere District Rod and Gun Club.
2017 wildfire activity has left burnt trees in close proximity to the recreation site. USE CAUTION - CHOOSE TO SET UP CAMP IN AREAS NOT EFFECTED BY WILDFIRE.
