This road does still lead to the old stretch of trail for Sugar Mountain but the area was logged and the trail ended up being demolished, though you c...
Paul Lezica - Jul 09, 2026Yep the road was reactivated when they logged around the Sugar mountain trail so that impasse is no longer there (was previously a giant ditch).
Paul Lezica - Jul 09, 2026Trail clear. It looks like someone went through and cut some of the overgrowth and other fallen trees out of the way so it wasn't too bad.
Paul Lezica - Jun 23, 2026This is a combination of "Power Line Road" and "Hidden Lake Road" according to the signs. The stretch toward the lake unfortunately tore up half of th...
Paul Lezica - Jun 18, 2026There is active logging right around the 5km mark with heavy machinery on the road. The crews weren't there when I drove up today so could still get p...
Paul Lezica - Jun 12, 2026Still decent shape up to the trailhead parking lot, but did have to chainsaw one tree out of the way.
Paul Lezica - Jun 12, 2026For anyone looking for the old Emancipation mine along this route, it's located just before the 1.5km mark.
Paul Lezica - Jun 11, 2026Very overgrown and a bit rocky in some places. Paint job will take a beating.
Paul Lezica - Jun 02, 2026The start of this road was torn up and logs dropped across it for deactivation but I was able to push through. After around the 0.5km mark there is no...
Paul Lezica - Jun 04, 2026I think I stumbled across this road while looking for a Britton bypass, and there was a very steep ATV looking trail which unfortunately appears to be...
Paul Lezica - May 05, 2026There seemed to be a locked gate on this road indicating private property (closer to the lake). You can still access RPL44.
Paul Lezica - May 05, 2026The attached photo seems to be the previously mentioned washout at around 7.5km. The road up until that point was still passable.
Paul Lezica - May 05, 2026Seems to have been deactivated a long time ago and there was debris and downed trees in some places, but could still make it through no problem.
Paul Lezica - Apr 30, 2026Reasonably decent condition road. It ends at a locked gate so it doesn't seem like there is open access to Mellin Lake.
Paul Lezica - Apr 30, 2026Road was clear. Evidence of downed trees but they had been cut out of the way.
Paul Lezica - Apr 23, 2026Your average SUV should be able to make it but some debris may be on the trail. The turn toward Deadman Lake was blocked by a downed tree at the momen...
Paul Lezica - Apr 23, 2026Tried to reach the Spectrum lake trailhead but there's still a bunch of snow on the road. It's otherwise in decent shape.
Paul Lezica - Apr 16, 2026Old road, but it's in OK shape still. I turned around after a while when I got tired of cutting trees out of the way.
Paul Lezica - Apr 16, 2026Road seems to be deactivated and you need a small vehicle to squeeze through parts. I made it in a Jeep TJ.
Paul Lezica - Apr 09, 2026Road seems to be deactivated and you need a small vehicle to squeeze through parts. I made it in a Jeep TJ.
Paul Lezica - Apr 09, 2026The road is easily passable for any 2WD but I did notice there were constant potholes... Not quite a smooth drive.
Paul Lezica - Apr 09, 2026Doesn't appear to get cleared at all in the winter and there was a bit of a snowbank at the entrance.
Paul Lezica - Jan 15, 2026This road seems to have been cleared pretty recently and there was a light layer of fresh snow on top of the compacted snow today.
