Road is partially paved from 0 to 13.25. It’s about 1 lanes width of paving and is pretty rough shape. Otherwise gravel road after that has decent potholes. There was a vehicle with something on it broken - presumably from the potholes. Does not require high clearance vehicle, but care must be taken due to the rough road.

In good shape from Intersection with Cowichan Main to Franklin Camp (did not go south to Nitinat Lake)
