The lakes are reached by the main Fang approach before the farther alpine summit options. The June 2026 rockslide closure applies to this access too, so the lake destination must not be offered as an open workaround. When the land manager reopens the route, use the current designated path and a defined lakes turnaround; the historical lake distance is not a current access assurance.

On the trail
The lakes are reached by the main Fang approach before the farther alpine summit options. The June 2026 rockslide closure applies to this access too, so the lake destination must not be offered as an open workaround. When the land manager reopens the route, use the current designated path and a defined lakes turnaround; the historical lake distance is not a current access assurance.
Conditions & seasons
Season-specific access has not been established in this guide. Read the dated notices and original land-manager information before choosing a departure date.
Grizzly activity in Evanoff Park
A park notice updated April 28, 2026 identifies regular grizzly activity, including family groups. BC Parks advises travelling together, making noise and carrying bear spray. This notice is not a trail closure.
BC Parks retains a bat-protection notice for caves. Consult its decontamination guidance before entering; equipment previously used east of the Rockies should not be brought into B.C. caves. The advisory is longstanding, not a new 2026 observation.
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.
On-route camping permission has not been established for this outing. Check the relevant land manager before planning an overnight stay; a mapped lake, cabin or previous tent location does not confirm permission.
