Site map

Opening the map…

A reusable trail line has not yet been verified for this outing. Any location pin shows the published location described above; it does not draw the hike or establish a navigable approach.

Getting there & parking

  1. From Highway 16 about 16.5 km east of Prince George, turn onto Upper Fraser Road.

  2. Continue about 63 km to the single-lane bridge. After the crossing, keep left along McGregor FSR for about 2.5 km to North Fraser (Church) FSR.

  3. The published site approach continues about 6 km along North Fraser FSR.

Full access notes

From the Highway 16 turn onto Upper Fraser Road about 16.5 km east of Prince George, continue roughly 63 km to the single-lane Fraser River bridge. Cross the bridge and use the McGregor road connection to North Fraser Forest Service Road, also called Church Forest Service Road. The camping directory places Amanita Lake about 6 km along North Fraser/Church from that junction. Confirm current road signs and conditions before the final forest-road leg; the directory’s two-wheel-drive description applies only when conditions are suitable.

At the campsite

The recreation site provides access to the lakeshore, small swimming beach and dock. This record is for a lake visit or overnight camp, rather than a measured hiking circuit around the lake. Set up in the established site and use the developed shore access; the reviewed directory does not describe a signed walking network, lifeguard service or a continuous lakeside trail.

Conditions & seasons

The access description is for suitable road conditions and does not establish winter maintenance. Snow, spring thaw and forestry activity can change the final gravel-road approach; obtain a current local road update before setting out.

These are dated research notes. Open the trip planner for current available weather and advisory feeds; no alert found does not establish that a trail or road is open.

Camping & overnight plans

The directory lists nine camping spaces, picnic tables, fire rings and two pit toilets, with tenting permitted. It does not establish potable water, a reservation system or current fees. Bring a drinking-water plan and verify posted fire restrictions before using a fire ring. A vacant-looking lakeside area outside the established site should not be assumed to be another campsite.
