Lots of snow but nothing blocking the road to the rec site. Made it to the lake in a Jeep TJ on 33" AT tires.
Paul Lezica - Dec 03, 2025The road only seemed plowed up to the 14.5km mark where the turn to Glen Lake FSR is. Beyond that the snow is somewhat compacted from other vehicles b...
Paul Lezica - Dec 03, 2025Snow all the way up today but not deep enough to be an issue. Jeep TJ with all terrains.
Paul Lezica - Nov 26, 2025Some packed snow/ice in some places but no problem. I'm not sure if this road will be plowed in winter though.
Paul Lezica - Nov 12, 2025Road is snow covered but no issues with my Jeep on AT tires. I don't believe this road is plowed in the winter though.
Paul Lezica - Nov 12, 2025Couldn't reach the rec site today as there's some downed trees that are large enough to need a chainsaw to clear.
Paul Lezica - Nov 12, 2025There is actually what appears to be a deactivation right around the 3km mark, but a small enough rig can squeeze through from the looks of it.
Paul Lezica - Nov 12, 2025Maintained road and very active so having a radio is wise. There's some construction happening around the 50km mark where there was a slight detour.
Paul Lezica - Nov 06, 2025Not really that bad but there's some potholes and a bit rocky as you enter the rec site.
Paul Lezica - Nov 06, 2025The turn to the Rainbow Falls parking area is off this road. There is sufficient signage along the way.
Paul Lezica - Oct 23, 2025Appears decently maintained. I went as far as the turn to the Rainbow Falls parking area.
Paul Lezica - Oct 23, 2025Road seems about the same as I remember. Very rocky in parts and I used 4-low in sections where it becomes very bumpy. The section just past the pond ...
Paul Lezica - Aug 31, 2025A bridge is currently under construction just after the 6km mark. Road is officially closed at this time.
Paul Lezica - Aug 30, 2025Doesn't seem to be actively used but road is easily passable with potholes here and there.
Paul Lezica - Aug 31, 2025Decommissioned road but reasonably good condition. I believe this connects to other roads via snowmobile trails.
Paul Lezica - Aug 14, 2025More of a snowmobile trail that goes to a club cabin. Can drive it easily but might be some debris along the way.
Paul Lezica - Aug 14, 2025This road is blocked where it meets the highway, but there is a small bypass around it. Not sure I could have squeezed my Jeep through so I didn't bot...
Paul Lezica - Aug 14, 2025Seems mostly unused. Requires high clearance in at least one spot due to washout.
Paul Lezica - Aug 05, 2025Road is inactive but clear. There's water bars but the average SUV is probably fine.
Paul Lezica - Aug 05, 2025Road is inactive but clear. There's water bars but the average SUV is probably fine.
Paul Lezica - Aug 05, 2025There is a trail that continues north taking you right to a pond which is connected to Rouse Lake. That last stretch is very narrow but I could make i...
Paul Lezica - Aug 05, 2025Still pretty clear but so many water bars which get bigger the further you go.
Paul Lezica - Jul 24, 2025Bridge at 9.5km still out and road still has additional washouts beyond that point.
Paul Lezica - Jul 15, 2025Extremely overgrown but I still could see where the road is... Much better to reach the lake from the north side though.
Paul Lezica - Jul 15, 2025I did about half way to Lodestone. 4x4 with high clearance obviously required. Mosquitos were bad.
Paul Lezica - Jun 26, 2025Active maintained road. There are some narrow sections where you can't see too far ahead so might want to have a radio.
Paul Lezica - Jun 26, 2025Heading up this road from Malakwa isn't too bad initially, gets rough in spots but 2WD is no problem. I turned around at I think the 9.5km mark as the...
Paul Lezica - Jun 19, 2025Reasonably good condition but the water bars get larger the further you go.
Paul Lezica - Jun 19, 2025Pretty good condition and it looks like there is going to be active logging toward the 3 valley gap side. Bunch of signage indicating active hauling g...
Paul Lezica - Jun 19, 2025Good condition. The Noisy Creek Rec Site is at the end of this road. Fairly large camping area right on the water.
Paul Lezica - Jun 19, 2025Not too bad to start, it becomes a bit more bumpy further up. I'm not quite sure how far I made it but I turned around when I hit snow. The road had t...
Paul Lezica - Jun 19, 2025Busy road for the first few km and in good shape, but if you try to continue past somewhere in the 6-8km mark it becomes completely overgrown and look...
Paul Lezica - Jun 19, 2025I don't know the full history but I tried to drive this road a couple years ago but the washed out bridges were still being repaired by the pipeline c...
Paul Lezica - Jun 11, 2025Several squatter camps at the start of this road. The gate at the hiking trailhead was also open today, but further up the road there was a sign that ...
Paul Lezica - Jun 12, 2025You can make it to around the 6.5km mark and then the road is completely washed out. There were some logs placed across the water for I assume snowmob...
Paul Lezica - Jun 04, 2025Still seems the same as mentioned in the last bulletin. Made it through the two washouts in a lifted Jeep TJ.
Paul Lezica - Jun 04, 2025Made it to around the 4.5km mark today and the trail becomes snow covered still.
Paul Lezica - Jun 04, 2025Bit rough but passable. Once you reach the bottom it pretty much dead ends due to the washouts in both directions.
Paul Lezica - Jun 04, 2025The washout at the creek has been filled in now and the road is passable.
Paul Lezica - Jun 04, 2025This road takes you to the Reservoir Lake rec site. Rough in some places and often has big puddles and creek crossing. Average 4x4 should be fine.
Paul Lezica - May 22, 2025Some debris on the road but is cleared enough for a vehicle to make it through to the top without any problem.
Paul Lezica - May 22, 2025Doesn't appear to be actively used for anything but still easily passable.
Paul Lezica - May 22, 2025Good condition, maintained to some degree. This road ends at a locked gate with a sign for Douglas Lake Ranch private property.
Paul Lezica - May 22, 2025Went from the Sunset exit to the Pitin turn and encountered two logging trucks during this time. Probably wise to be using a radio on this road as it ...
Paul Lezica - Mar 06, 2025Looks like they maintain the road from June Springs up to the Myra parking lot at the KVR trail. Was still slippery due to snow/ice. After crossing th...
Paul Lezica - Dec 05, 2024The road was very recently plowed for about half the way or so, and then somewhat deep snow the rest of the way to the rec site.
Paul Lezica - Nov 27, 2024The entrance to this rec site gets a bit blocked from the snow plowed on the main FSR but could make it through easily today.
Paul Lezica - Nov 21, 2024This road doesn't seem to be maintained in the winter, but the road itself is generally in good shape. The snow was getting a bit too deep for my liki...
Paul Lezica - Nov 21, 2024Snow on the ground and this road doesn't appear to get cleared, but I could make it to the rec site in a Jeep TJ with 33" all terrains.
Paul Lezica - Nov 21, 2024Reasonably good shape, some slightly rough spots. There's snow on most of this road right now.
Paul Lezica - Nov 06, 2024There is a barrier at the start of this road but a small enough vehicle with high clearance might be able to make it through. Few inches of snow there...
Paul Lezica - Nov 06, 2024Some water bars but road was easily passable. Areas with snow on the ground too.
Paul Lezica - Nov 06, 2024Some water bars but road was easily passable. Areas with snow on the ground too.
Paul Lezica - Nov 06, 2024Some water bars but road was easily passable. Areas with snow on the ground too.
Paul Lezica - Nov 06, 2024Some water bars but road was easily passable. Areas with snow on the ground too.
Paul Lezica - Nov 06, 2024Bumpy ride in some sections but fine for the average pickup truck. Snow on the ground up at Munro lake.
Paul Lezica - Nov 06, 2024This road has been blocked right at the 0km mark. A small vehicle or ATV can make it through but the signs state the road is closed for environmental ...
Paul Lezica - Oct 30, 2024The road starts off a bit rough but passable. I believe this is the trail to reach the Sugar Mountain lookout but I turned around when the trail becam...
Paul Lezica - Oct 30, 2024Takes you to the Sugar Creek rec site. Narrow road and I believe this is one way and you exit back down south.
Paul Lezica - Oct 30, 2024Good condition and there is active logging loads along the first 15km or so. You should be using a radio to listen for truck traffic.
Paul Lezica - Oct 30, 2024This road ends at a secluded camping spot on the lake. The road is fairly small but was cleared of fallen trees.
Paul Lezica - Oct 07, 2024Not bad, 2WD and a bit of clearance should be fine. You can go further beyond the end of the road on the map and end up at Pennask Lake but it becomes...
Paul Lezica - Oct 07, 2024Maintained road, currently seems to be a number of commercial trucks up and down this area so radio monitoring is recommended.
Paul Lezica - Sep 24, 2024Road is cleared as it is used as a snowmobile track during winter but does have some rougher spots, but an average 4WD vehicle should make it to the s...
Paul Lezica - Sep 24, 2024Passable with 2WD.
Also, Upper McPhail actually turns into the snowmobile trail (you will pass the snowmobile cabin) and does go right to the top ...
No noted issues, seems to have some level of maintenance to clear fallen trees.
Paul Lezica - Sep 19, 2024I believe this road was identified as "Mudbog" on a deactivation sign and had a trap at the start to block vehicles.
Paul Lezica - Jun 06, 2024The road to Pennask Lake Provincial Park is rough in some parts but should be passable for a stock truck.
Paul Lezica - Jun 06, 2024Some washouts but not too bad. Encountered some downed trees so may need to cut your way through as this doesn't appear to be maintained.
Paul Lezica - Jun 06, 2024Road condition is OK but you'll eventually come to a locked gate after a few km or so.
Paul Lezica - Jun 06, 2024Mostly fine but to connect over with Pothole-Boot Lake road it requires a creek crossing.
Paul Lezica - May 09, 2024Has concrete barriers, some of which have been moved out of the way. Road also has at least one washout.
Paul Lezica - May 09, 2024Seems to be actively maintained and may have active logging going on. This road originally appears to connect to Pennask Lake Road but that has a wash...
Paul Lezica - May 06, 2024There was a sign up around 36km marker indicating active logging is happening on this road again.
Paul Lezica - Apr 18, 2024Closure notice posted in Brookmere for Lower McPhail until November 2023.
Paul Lezica - Oct 20, 2023Washout on road and is no longer passable by large vehicles. Has some pieces of wood set up which appear to be for crossing with an ATV.
Paul Lezica - Oct 11, 2023Was easily passable to the Zum Peak rec site but becomes very overgrown soon after that point.
