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 Prince George, travel north on Highway 97 and take the first right after the Salmon River bridge.

  2. Pass the rest area, then use the first driveway on the right. From the north, follow the blue rest-area sign to the left turn at the bottom of the hill.

Full access notes

Heading north on Highway 97 from Prince George, take the first right after the Salmon River bridge. Continue past the rest area and use the first driveway on the right. Approaching from the north, follow the large blue rest-area sign and turn left at the bottom of the hill, then take the same driveway after the rest area. Arrange a booking before arrival; the operator’s October 2026 page says the campground is closed until the next season.

At the campsite

For an open-season stay, select a tent or RV site through the operator rather than occupying a river-edge space informally. The campground advertises 35 sites, including 16 with power and water, together with flush toilets, hot showers and a guest dump station. River and forest sites are distinct choices. Minimum-stay rules can apply in July, August and on weekends. No measured hiking route within the property is established in the reviewed source. The stated target is the May long weekend in 2027 if river conditions allow, so confirm reopening before using this as a base for spring hikes.

Conditions & seasons

Closed after the 2026 season. The operator plans to reopen for the May long weekend in 2027, subject to river conditions; this is a plan, not a confirmed opening.

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.
