A largely gentle forest walk reaches a creekside waterfall picnic area far along the Davie–Muskeg resource road. The final descent is considerably steeper than the approach, and the drive is much longer than the hike.
1. Getting there and parking
From the Bear Lake area use the 100 Road connection to the 200 Road, also called Davie–Muskeg Road, and continue northwest toward the 259.5 km road marker. The trip report describes about 59 km of resource-road travel from Bear Lake; the tourism brochure separates this into roughly 11.5 km on the initial road and another 47 km. Look for the parking area and trail-map kiosk on the right, with space reported for about six vehicles. The kilometre marker is a road reference, not distance from Prince George. Verify industrial traffic and road conditions before committing to the approach.
Parking: The report places a roughly six-vehicle parking area and trail-map kiosk on the right at road reference 259.5 on Davie–Muskeg Road, about 59 km of resource-road travel from Bear Lake.
2. Walking the route
From the kiosk follow the forest path toward the creek and falls. Most of the approach is relatively flat, but the final approximately 200 m is steep as the trail descends to the creekside picnic area. The descriptive account gives about 1.3 km each way, or 2.6 km return; a separate displayed recording near 1.19 km does not establish the same return scope. Its zero-valued elevation fields are missing data, not proof of no climbing. View the falls from secure ground, keep away from slippery rocks and retrace the same path, allowing for the climb back out from the creek.
- Follow the marked forest path from the kiosk toward the creek.
- Descend the steeper final approximately 200 m to the creekside picnic and waterfall-viewing area.
The return
The narrative describes 1.3 km each way, about 2.6 km return. Allow for the climb back from the creek; zero-valued recorded elevations are missing data.
3. Route map
Government recreation-project geometry is an overview reference. It may contain branches or historic alignments; current access and a continuous navigable itinerary are not established.
Published locations
Numbered points match the map. Use the role beside each point. A summit or park reference point is not a parking location.
