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
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
105		The hike 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 Mtn. 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 (not of Capilano Road).	2008
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
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

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. Due to the popularity of the lake, we can not see this deactivation lasting long.	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

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.

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
