Road Description
Commonly used to access Skihist Mountain and other neighboring creeks. A hydro project exists before Kwoiek Lake and so the road access is likely to be maintained up to that point. In 2021 numerous floods closed off access to the area. Those have been repaired in 2023, but many sections of the road are susceptible to landslides.
Road Bulletins
Kwoiek fsr is in decent shape all the way to about 1km past Kwoiek lake. My stock 4x4 chevy blazer made it there with no issues except pinstriping in some over grown sections. 1km after the Kwoiek lake there is an impassable washout for anything but an atv, dirt bike, or crazy rock crawling truck imo
[From Erich Hill] - The road is graded from pavement all along keefers fsr to the hydrostation. [Impasse at the beginning is removed]. [The washout at at the first lake is still present]. A landslide came down with trees (not actually a washout now that i think of it) and someones cut a path up and over the pile. Its super ugly and i think youd beat up a pretty serious truck going over it. I think a SxS would have to winch over it. Thing is the road goes to shit after about 2km anyways so not worth crawling over the pile.
No vehicle access, impassable landslide 300m down the road. More landslides after this first one. Felt safe/stable to cross all the slides on foot.
[From Jono Carlyle] - The Kwioek Forest service road is in rapid deterioration. There are many washout areas and approximately 6 km from the lake The road is absolutely impassible due to a massive landslide of mud rocks trees debris etc. We spoke to some ATV enthusiasts and it took five of them hours with chainsaws and lifting the ATV over the landslide to get one person across. *The road to John George Lake is impassable, You will need to walk the last 6 km of the FSR*. To get to this point you'll definitely need a 4x4 with a pinstripe paint job
