Access and trail reports
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.

Reports describe the cited dates. An expected reopening date does not establish reopened access.
Short alpine-lake trail.
1. Getting there and parking
Use the Upper Torpy forest-road approach from Pass Lake Road to the high road access east of Pass Lake. BC Parks describes the final approach through a logging block to the southern park boundary. This short upper start is distinct from the older lower-road Torpy outing and from the separate Torpy Mountain summit start farther east. Confirm the actual road end and access condition before assigning a distance.
2. Walking the route
From the high forest-road start, follow the short Torpy trail into the small alpine lake basin in Evanoff Park. BC Parks gives about 1.5 km for the trail segment, without a return-distance basis; that figure does not include lower road walking or a mountain summit. The wider basin offers meadow and ridge terrain, but continuing over Fang or toward Torpy Mountain is a separate route-finding undertaking. Creek crossings and wet ground are reported in the area. Stay on the marked basin approach for this short option and return to the same road start.
3. Route map

5. Camping, facilities and seasons
Season and access
Snow and meltwater can linger on the basin and ridge routes. Evanoff has avalanche terrain and ground fissures; a summer short-trail description does not establish a safe winter itinerary.
