		The spread of the mountain pine beetle has devastated the interior of BC. Backroad travellers will find a number of new roads systems have been laid out by logging companies in order to harvest the wood as fast as possible. These roads are being deactivated as fast as they are being created so our maps will not show many of the smaller systems. Please continue to send us your updates so we can keep the book as accurate as possible!	2011
11	B3	Access to Middle Lake on Mosley Cr. FSR is gated and locked. The Mapbook shows a gate on a spur near the lake, but the gate is actually on the Mosley Cr FSR near that intersection.	2009
11	D2	The road leading to Horn and Bluff Lakes is in fact called Bluff Lake Road. Further along the road, just east of Middle Lake is a gate (we have this gate on the side road…it is in fact on the main road).	2009
12	C3-F7	The Chilko-Newton Road is not a mainline (as marked). It is high clearance /4x4 long and windy track.	2009
12	D5	The road from Chaunigan Lake to Tsuniah (the northern route that traverses below Chaunigan Mountain) is no longer being maintained and is only ATV accessible. This stretch has many trees fallen over it and the crossing at Brittany Creek is not possible and has reverted to marshland. There is also a locked private gate at the start of the Tsuniah end of the road.	2012
13	B3	The Scum Lake Road, between the lake and the Taseko Lake (900) Rd, is at best a 4wd road. It also travels through private property and is not a recommended road to travel.	2007
13	A7	The Taseko Gold Mine is being developed in the Nemaiah Valley. Plans are to drain Fish Lake so the area can be used as a tailing pond. A new reservoir to hold the trout in the system is also planned.	2009
14	B1	Beaumont road (past the Dantes Inferno trailhead more or less) is private and gated. It leads to a farm on the Chilcotin River.	2009
16	E2	Timothy Lake Road, east of the resort, is an unmaintained, overgrown road that is better suited for ATV's.	2010
20	G4	The pictographs south of Towdystan are located on the west side of the highway just down the trail a little bit (there is a geo cache there) and the coordinates are: N 52° 13.502; W 125° 03.906.	2009

35	E5	Those looking for a through road option between Hydraulic Road (out of Quesnel) and the Likely Road are best to look for Priority Road just east of Buxton Creek. Beyond this junction the Hydraulic Road degrades to a 4wd/ATV route that leads to private property around Morehead Creek.	2009
36	B4-G3	The backroad route between Likely and Barkerville to the north is now being promoted as the Gold Rush Tour for ATV's and snowmobiles only. Vehicles will no longer be able to use this once popular backroad that leads along the east side of Cariboo Lake east past Maeford Lake (8400 Rd to 3100 Rd) then crosses the Cariboo River and follows Cunningham Pass FSR.	2012
42	C7	The 4000 Road continues northwest all the way to Kluskus Village on Kluskus Lakes.	2011
43		Blackwater Road and Blackwater Mud Road are marked as paved, when in fact the pavement ends at Rawlings Road northwest of Quesnel.	2011
44	G7-B4	The Umiti Pit Rd (1700 Rd) is no longer maintained and better travelled with a 4wd vehicle, ATV or snowmobile.	2010

11	G7	Lynx Lake is surrounded by private property, has no campsite and is no longer stocked. It is not a recommended destination.	2007
11	B5	Norman Lake Road that is shown leading south to Dahl Lake Provincial Park is no more than a 'donkey trail' that leads to an old cut block and not much more. This road is not worth exploring.	2011
11	C4	Dahl Lake Road does not provide access to the park as it ends at private property. Access to the park is via Norman Lake.	2013

57		The St Leon Hot Springs are now closed. The road has been blocked and the springs are covered. This is a result of people leaving garbage around. Please do not ruin it for others and pack out what you bring in.	2006
97		The access into Alps Altruras Trail is decent and well signed.	2009
100		The Earl Grey Pass Trail is actually 61 km long and takes anywhere from 4 to 6 days to complete. The shorter distanced listed is walking from the east side up to the pass only. A fire in the summer of 2007 took out the western section up to the Earl Pass, but the east side is still open. No word on when the western side of the trail will be re-established.	2008
100		The Columbia River (Waterloo) Trail links Sunningdale in Trail with the old Doukhobor bridge in Ootischenia outside of Castlegar. Also out of Sunningdale is the Sunningdale Flag Trail found off Sandpit Road. It is about a 4 hour hike, with a few steep sections and bushwhacking, to the fine views over the Columbia River.	2009
103		There is no biking at Island Lake Lodge, but they do offer a variety of hiking trails to explore. A brochure is available showing these trails.	2010
105		Lake of Hanging Glacier Trail is in good condition, except the trail is covered with avalanche debris about 1.0 km before the lake. This debris extends for about 250 meters. Pink ribbon marks route.	2010
107		There is a new trail to Mount Loki that begins off the Portman Creek Forest Road, around the 15 km mark. The first part of the 7 to 9 hour trek, is easy as it leads to the Portman Notch. Beyond here the trail is steep and requires some scrambling to get to the summit. In all you climb, 1,200 metres (3,940 ft), but the views of Kaslo through to Balfour over Kootenay Lake are amazing.	2009
107		There is a new trail to Mount Loki that begins off the Portman Creek Forest Road, around the 15 km mark. The first part of the 7 to 9 hour trek, is easy as it leads to the Portman Notch. Beyond here the trail is steep and requires some scambling to get to the summit. In all you climb, 1,200 metres (3,940 ft), but the views of Kaslo through to Balfour over Kootenay Lake are amazing.	2009
109		Although signs up the Old Glory Trail recommend staying right, the left approach is much nicer, gentler and allows for a loop. Enough people use it that maintenance should not be a concern at this time.	2009
109		Panther Lake Trail is becoming overgrown near the start and has deadfall to negotiate near the lake but the lake is still reachable. It is recommended to hike the last 1 km of the Sheep Creek Rd to the trailhead.	2009
109		Access to the Placer Lake Trail is washed out near the 3km mark. It is possible to ATV for continue on foot to the trailhead, but this will more than double the length of the trail.	2009
109		Access to the Plaid Lake Trail is very rough and has large waterbars making it best to plan to walk about another 3 km to the trailhead. The trail is in good condition however.	2009
110		The Ripple Ridge Trail is well signed, but has some deadfall to negotiate. Access is through Stagleap Provincial Park but no vehicles are permited on the park road.	2009
111		The Sherman Lakes Trail is best done later in the year (September) due to the creek crossing near the trailhead.	2009
112		Templeton Lake Trail begins in a creek/gully but is still hikeable. The bridge at the 400 m mark can be underwater in early summer, but still fordable.	2010
112		Thunderwater Lake Trail accesses a beautiful area. Drainage flowing north from Catamount Glacier affects access into late August.	2010
113		The Gimli Peak Trail on the southeast side of Valhalla Provincial Park is maintained. Access is long but in decent shape.	2009
114		The Whitewater Creek Trail is well marked and easy to access.	2009
114		Wulf (Waldie) Lake Trail is in good condition with huckleberries found from start to end. Access in remains rough.	2009

2		The Darkwoods Area (vehicle restricted area) Map 2, 3, 10 & 11 has been purchased by the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC). It is the NCC's biggest land purchase. However, it is unclear what will be done with the area.	2008
2	F1	Clearwater Rd (one word) starts from Highway 6 a few km south of the Whitewater Road (also one word).	2010
3	A6	Jordan's Cabin is actually located just west of Placer FSR off the north side of Highway 3.	2010
6	F5	There are several tracks of private property in the Grasmere area. Visitors are asked to respect the wishes of the land owners and stay off private property and keep the gates closed. This is active ranch land.	2007
10	A4	The road leading north from Perry's Back Road (on the west side of the Slocan River) leads to private property and is a no through road to the public. The public road ends at a turn around area and is also gated at the north end of the private lots.	2005

11	E6	The road leading up La France Creek is better suited for ATV enthusiasts. It is not passable by vehicles beyond the 2.5 km mark.	2010
13	E1-E7	Premier Lake to Wasa Lake Motorized Trail does not exist. In fact, there is only one road open to motorized traffic on the Premier Ridge at any time of the year. And even that road is closed to motorized traffic from Dec 1 to March 31st (Premier Ridge is considered high value ungulate winter range). All the old roads coming off that road are closed all year round to any vehicle traffic. Those roads should be marked as "trails" for hiking, horseback or mountain biking.	2011
13	C2	Near Ta Ta Creek there is a new cell tower with a gate that closes the old road off to Ta Ta Lake - no public access beyond that point. The other roads to the NW still access the lake and the small traditional camping area.	2011
13	F4-G1	Wildhorse Creek FSR has a few narrow spots where a potential wash out may occur. Grizzly bears a possibility in alpine and around Bear Lake.

Wildhorse Creek Road also accesses the new Nine Basins Trail, although the last couple km require a high clearance 4wd vehicle.	2010
13	G4	Mause Creek Road is a 4wd, high clearance road that is getting very rocky beyond the Fisher Peak Trailhead. Leads to Tanglefoot Lake Trail, a beautiful hiking area that remains quite popular.	2010
13	E5	Thanks to the lobbying of the Kootenay Lake Chamber of Commerce the popular and very scenic Grey Creek Pass Forest Service Road is once again open. Although several closed signs are in place, many vehicles used the route in the summer of 2012. The road makes a nice backroad alternative between the East and West Kootenay from July to the end of October. Once there is enough snow it becomes a snowmobile trip. If open, be sure to visit Oliver Lake Recreation Site to truly appreciate this spectacular area.	2012
14	E6	There is no biking at Island Lake Lodge, but they do offer a variety of hiking trails to explore. A brochure is available showing these trails.	2010

15	D3	The boundaries of the Wasa Slough Wildlife Reserve are not correct. Most of the land in this area is private ranching land and not open to the public.	2009
15	D2	Both the Alexander Creek #1 & #2 Rec Sites have been washed out and are no longer open.	2008
18	D4	The distance to the turnoff for Alps Alturas Trail is actually just past the 3km marker on the East Wilson Creek Rd. from the south. The turnoff and route is well signed but it is possible to be confused by a new road at 2.9km. That road is steep, narrow, and rough; and not recommended for anything but a test of vehicle endurance.	2010
19	C4	The Kootenay Joe Ridge Road is not open to ATV's. In fact, you are also only allowed to mountain bike to park boundary.	2006
21	C7	The side road leading up the south side of Argent Creek is now a trail. Further south, the road system up Tooth Ridge has been extended.	2005
21	D7	Bradford Road ends at the Lussier River Bridge and private property. The area is also managed as a non motorized area.	2008
21	F5	Ram Creek Road is closed east of the Ram Creek Warm Springs for environmental reasons.	2010

28	G5	Paddy Ryan Lakes are closed to the public (and fishing) as they are the source for the municipal water supply.	2006
29	C3	Cross River Canyon Rec Site is no longer. There is a resort nearby with cabins and access to the extensive trail system in thea area.	2010
29	C3	The former Natural Bridge Cross-Country Ski Trails are now called the Cross River Canyon Cross-Country Ski Trails. They start from the south at Nipika Lodge and lead north to the spectacular upper canyon of the Cross River. Note that there are no trails on the east side of the Cross River Forest Service Road as this is private property.	2011
32	E4	There is no ATVing allowed up Boulder Mountain .	2006
32	G3-C3	Lauretta Slabs have been labeled in the wrong place. The location shown is actually known as Waterworld due to the fact the climbing area drops to the lake. Lauretta Slabs are found east of town on the west side of the Trans Canada Highway, just south of Skunk Cabbage Picnic Area (33/C3).	2008
32	G4-A4	Powder Springs Ski Resort is under new management and is know known as Revelstoke Mountain Resort. Label the road up to the resort and convert white paved to yellow paved en route.	2008
33	C7	There is no ATVing allowed up McCrae Mountain.	2006
36	B3	A bridge out on the Beaverfoot FSR just north of the Kootenay Crossing Rec Site has deactivated this section of road. Visitors can bypass this section by taking the Branch 7 & 8 roads and crossing the river near the rec site.	2007
36	A5	Templeton Lake Road is very overgrown with alders for the last 2 km of road to the trailhead. The first part of the trail is now a creek/gully but hikeable. The bridge at the 400 m mark can be underwater in early summer, but still fordable.	2010
38	E7	The Whitetooth Rd is now called Kicking Horse Rd.	2005
38	E4	There is no ATVing allowed in the Keystone and Standard Basin area.	2006

Access to Elinor Lake is from Chute Lake to the north, while there is no public access to Naramata Lake. There is only one public access road (Smethherst Road) branching north from Naramata Creek FSR. People wishing to explore the area are well advised to stay on the Kettle valley Railway. Not only is the route in better shape, but the views are much better too.	2007
9	G4	The Chute Lake Road is only paved for the first 3 km or so. Beyond the lake, the road is better suited for trucks due to rough sections. It does link with the Gillard FSR heading south from the Mission area of Kelowna to make a scenic backroad loop.	2008
9	D3	Garnet Valley Road north of the lake is a rough, 4wd road. Camping is also not encouraged due to the lake being the watershed for Summerland.	2007

10	C7-F2	Okanagan Falls Forest Service Road (Rd 201) is a good all season road that can be used as an alternate route between Kelowna and Penticton or even Okanagan Falls further south.	2011
10	B2	The magnificent Myra Canyon section of the Trans Canada Trail remains one of the most popular sections of the Kettle Valley Railway trail system. Tremendous national and community support made the reconstruction and preservation of the infamous trestles and tunnels in the area possible.	2012
11	B2	There is no connecting road between Whitefoot Creek and the road system to the south.	2007
14	G7-G7	The boundary between management Units 8-08 and 3-12 (located between Kelowna and Merritt BC) has been changed to follow Highway 97C (the Coquihalla Connector) between Pennask Summit and Aspen Grove.	2012
17	E4	Brunette Main runs north-south from the Aberdeen Lake FSR south to Postill Lake. As of 2011 the road was in good condition.	2011

24	F1	The only way into Rosemond Lake Rec Site is through Larch Hills-Rosemond Forest Service Road.	2008
27	E1-E4	The road from Barriere to Dunn Lake is almost all gravel, but accessible by most vehicles. It leads past the resort area at the south end of the lake.	2009
28	C7	Long Lake Road in Lac du Bois Grasslands Park is not open to the public (vehicles are not allowed in the park area). There have been several new trails in the area including the Grasslands Community Trail starting off Westsyde Road and linking to the Long Lake Road.	2012
31	C4	There is no access point to the Eagle River at Craigellachie. CP rail has erected a gate.	2010
35	A5	The fire in 2010 resulted in campsite and road closures around Momich Lake. For traveler safety the Momich-Stukemapten Forest Service Road has been gated to restrict vehicle access through the fire damaged area at certain time intervals during the year. Please contact the Headwaters Forest District in Clearwater BC at 250 587-6700 for further information regarding road access.	2010

15	A1	Access into the Gibson-Klitsa area is becoming more difficult, as the bridge over the Taylor River from Highway 4 has been condemned. There are alternate routes, though. The last few kilometres are 4wd access only; all others will need to start a couple or three kilometres down the road for what is already a long, difficult slog to the alpine.	2007
15	D3	There is no boat launch at Nahmint Lake Rec Site. Also, the trail is found closer to the head of the lake than marked.	2006
15	G4-A4	Macktush Main is deactivated.	2007
16	F3	Access into Kammat Lake is very overgrown and there is no real place to camp anymore.	2007
16	E4	Access into the Father and Son Lake area is getting more difficult and hikers should expect to add a couple kilometres of old road walking to the actual trail.

64		Elbow/Echo Lakes: Echo Lake is surrounded by private property and there is no publich access. On the other hand, Elbow Lake is surrounded by Crown Land and has good public access (from the south end).	2006
65		Meagre Creek Hot Springs are once again closed for an indefinite period. A massive mud slide during the summer of 2010 trapped several visitors to the area proving the volatile nature of this active volcanic area.	2010
71		Clear Creek Hot Springs A large rock slide was reported Janurary 2004 to have blocked access to the springs. One report in April 2004, however,indicated the springs are now accessible although the ruts in the roads are still present and deep. High clearance wehicles are reccommended.	2004
71		As of March 2010, there is no access to Meager Creek due to mudslide at Capricorn Creek. Visit http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/DSQ/ for the latest on this area that seems to open and close regularly.	2010
75		Statlu Creek is closed to fishing.	2006
83		We have the Skagit river flowing in the wrong direction. Most people put- in at Silvertip Park and enjoy an easy paddle to the take-out at Ross Lake. Some people put-in at the Sumallo confluence (Sumallo Grove Day Use Area) and take-out at the Silvertip Campground or continue on to the take-out at Ross Lake. It would be just as scenic the other way around, but it's all up hill.	2008
97		Camping is no longer available at the Island 22 Regional Park.	2011
105		The Grouse Grind leads straight up the mountainside just east of the gondola and ends at the upper gondola station. The trail starts at a gate on the east side of the lower (pay) parking lot of Grouse Mountain Resorts. Due to avalanche concerns, the trail is closed during winter from approximately mid-November to late April. Also note that the Grouse Mtn Gondola is at the end of Nancy Green Way.	2008
106		The Upper Lillooet River Recreation Site is now closed due to a massive mud slide that occurred during the summer of 2010. It trapped several campers as well as people using nearby Meagre Creek Hot Springs.	2010
108		The Madeley Lake Trail access is now much easier due to the paving of the Callaghan Road. (A high clearance vehicles is still recommended though). Also, the Rainbow Lake Trailhead is not 1,000 metres lower.	2008
114		The three bridges on the Eaton Lake Trail are broken making this trek that much more challenging. It is still possible to access the lake on makeshift creek crossings however.	2011
115		Exploring the Stoltman Wilderness Route has an added challenge as the bridge at Cesna Creek is out. It may be possible to find an alternative way across the creek at low water, but continuing along the route or up to the great lookout on Eagle Bluff is uncertain. The road into the trailhead is not to hard to find and the Lava Camp is a very nice location as it is perched high above the roaring Elaho and Lava Creek confluence.	2007
118		The hut at Lovely Water is now $30 members of Alpine Club and $36 non members.	2011
127		The Quadling Road trailhead access to Sumas Mountain Trail is currently inaccessible due to a large rock quarry destroying the trailhead. There are plans to re-establish this trail, but no word on when.	2011

3	B2	Blue Mountain FSR and trails in Maple Ridge have officially been closed to the public. There is now a gate on McNutt Road with signs indicating private property. This is long been a favourite area for the 4WDA of BC, who have spent countless hours cleaning up the area.	2005
3	E4	There is no public launch on Hatzic Lake. It is possible to hand launch through Neilson Park, but the access is steep and a fair walk.	2010
3	G4-A1	Norrish Creek Forest Service Road accesses a small mining area (access is limited under the Mining Act), but further up there are some very picturesque waterfalls to take a picture of. Approximately 6.5 km up the road however, public access ends due to a watershed being in the area.	2011
5	G4	The Hicks Creeek FSR is unmaintained and is virtually undrivable past the first kilometre. The old Centennial Trail runs along this route.	2005
14	B4	The road between Statlu Creek and Eagle Creek has over 80 cross ditches to discourage people from driving in this area. The road systems is becoming overgrown. The logging companies built a bypass route further south.	2005
14	B7	In June 2007, it was reported that the bridge over Statlu Creek has been removed, basically cutting off the southern access to Chehalis Lake. The popular recreational lake was severely altered by a massive mudslide effectively closing all of the recreation sites on the lake. ATVers still access the area.	2007
14	B5	In December of 2007, Chehalis Lake was hit by a major landslide, which in turn created a wave about 15 m (50 feet) high, impacting all three rec sites on the lake. As a result of the slide, the road to the lake is closed indefinitely, as are the campsites.	2009
15	FF6	The road on the north side of Kawkaka Lake, between Union Bar and Kawkawa Lake Road is a very old, overgrown logging road that is privately owned.	2005
15	F1-F4	The access roads up Inkwathia, Emory, Yale and American Creek are all gated due to private property.	2005

25	C7	Doctor's Creek Bridge, located at the 55 kilometre mark on Harrison West Road, is often washed out or closed. Even when open, this section is only drivable with a 4wd vehicle. Travellers wishing to explore this popular backroad route to Pemberton should contact Chilliwak Forest District as to the current status.	2012
26	D4	About 2 km past the Scuzzy Creek Recreation Site the FSR is completely dug up making the road impassable by ATV or 4WD vehicle.	2011
29	C5	The 2010 Olympics have created some great new facilities. One such is the cross-country skiing facility around Callaghan Lake. During summer, the paving of this road also makes access into the area much easier.	2008
30	A7	There is no trail connecting Cheakamus Lake and Singing Pass according to Whistler Search and Rescue, the area is characterized as heinously steep with loose rock and devils club. Not impossible but really a poor choice for all but the most intrepid of mountaineers.	2008
32	F4	The Kwoiek Creek area has seen a lot of road deactivation. The main road up the valley is not drivable (or even walkable) beyond the 28 km mark and it is difficult to access John George Lake and beyond. The North Kwoiek Road has all but disappeared and the Eagle Ridge Trail leading to Antimony Lake is no longer, although a new route has been flagged up to the very scenic ridge itself.	2009
33	B4	The Westside Road from Lytton north to Texas Creek is in good condition. South of the Lytton Ferry, the road is best left to 4wd vehicles.	2004
36	D1	The peak names for Gandalf and Shadowfax are reversed. (This is an error on the NTS maps that has now been corrected in the BC Trim data.). http://www.ubc-voc.com/wiki/Brian_Waddington_Hut#Peak_Names_-_Gandalf_and_Sh adowfax, http://www.bivouac.com/MtnPg	2008
36	C6	The Owl Creek Forest Service Road, is extremely steep, rocky and has lots of water bars that requires a 4wd vehicle to negotiate. The moderate trail leads to a chain of lakes, while a rugged route continues north to Tenquille Lake. However, this area was burned during the 2009 fire season.	2009
37	A1	On last report, the McGillivray Creek Bride was still out and the High Line Road (Douglas Trail) is not drivable until its decided who will pay for this.	2006
39	C1-F1	The Hat Creek Road between Upper Hat Creek and Highway 1 is not a maintained road. It is best left to 2wd or 4wd vehicles with high clearance.	2005
41	E5	The road system that leads up the Jamie Creek drainage is very scenic.	2006
42	C5-E7	The Kingdom Lake FSR up Cadwallader Creek is impassable due to wash outs. Even mountain biking and trail riding is difficult due to the overgrowth. The area is best accessed in the winter by the snowmobile. Summer travellers should be wary of Grizzly Bears.The road is a good 2wd road past Kingdom Lake to Pioneer Mine.	2006
42	C2	The Tyaughton Lake Fire in the spring of 2009 is mostly seen around Pearson and Mowson Ponds. The trails and old roads in and around these former fishing hot spots are also damaged and/or dangerous to travel due to the burned trees that are still standing in the area.	2009
