Previous report is inaccurate. The last few km have been recently graded but are still potholes. The first few km still has a few waterbars and cross ditches still, easy to cross at an angle, but it hasn't seen a grader in awhile.

The Aug 3 bulletin is very wrong. Road has NOT been repaved… some clearance is required for the water bars (nothing too bad).

Road has been regraded, and all the waterbars/washouts are now gone. Sedans can now make it to the trailhead

First half has multiple mild water bars. Then it flattens out. No scraping in my Honda Pilot TrailSport with 8.3" clearance. Only had to angle for a few just in case.

Road condition is still manageable for a stock crossover. I made it up there with crosstrek.
There are 2 water bars that I had to cross very carefully to not scratch the front underbody. But very doable.
Vehicle specs: 8.7" of ground clearance with 18 degrees of approaching angle.

Same as usual. Mild water bars, super low cars need not apply. Other can probably handle it with care. Crossovers or better are fine

Not November yet so gate is open. Only a couple cms of snow in the afternoon, and tracks were established. Hopefully it keeps seeing traffic until the gate locks so people can get in!

rood in good condition to lake, few cross ditches, 2wd should be fine
Mabel Moss reported on: Jul 25, 2025
Attempted in a 4WD SUV (around 7" ground clearance) but didn't get far. Water bars too steep and deep for my low skill and low clearance

gate still locked at bottom.

Gate still locked at bottom as of Saturday May 24.

Road is good condition but note that it does have many water bars that would likely block a vehicle with low clearance
Daniela Gilsdorf reported on: Sep 17, 2023
A rougher road with plenty of potholes and some water bars. I would not attempt with low clearance vehicle, 4wd SUV should be fine.
