Getting there & parking

Follow Bowron Lake Road approximately 17 km from its Highway 26 junction, then turn left onto the 2400 Road at marker 2476. Road markers count downward on this approach. About 4 km in, at 2472, a sign points to parking below the road. The trail society describes space for two cars at the trailhead around 500 m farther, but use it only if current industrial traffic and parking conditions permit. The access road remains a working road; leave room for vehicles to pass.
