Road Bulletins

WD3500
302d

Road surface is not a problem minus a few ditches. Narrow track and lots of pin stripes however.

Kevin Mang - Mar 30, 2025

Thought i'd say it isn't impossible... Made it to the end of the spur for a Tricouni hike, pretty doable in something like a suzuki sidekick. Made it ...

Digger parked in the middle of the road at 0km, seems like they don't want any one going in. The other end at 1.3km was not blocked. From 1.3km to Ram...

I guess by BC standards the road is in good condition, but it is HEAVILY potholed and in worse shape than I've seen before. Slow and tedious driving i...

Bear Creek FSR was in good condition to the Mount McNair trailhead. Gate was open and road had been regraded. If anything this road is in better shape...

HEAD BAY
302d

Paved from 0km to 18km. Very nice FSR road.

Philip Schuchardt - Apr 09, 2025

Mud slide just before the creek at 2km. One set of tire tracks across but it looked liked they struggled.

Harri Dobrochodow - Apr 05, 2025

We drove about 0.5 km and were stopped by snow.
There is a brand new bridge accross the Slollicum Creek and road continues after as we walked all the...

Oleg Ku - Apr 05, 2025

Drove to the Cascade Bay road - snow free up to there.
Some rought spots, but nothing any clearance 4x4 can't handle.

Oleg Ku - Apr 05, 2025

Gate at the start of the road is gone. Not open, but gone completely. I drove up about 2 kms but didn't go any farther since I was only in my little...

Andrew Enns - Mar 29, 2025

The road is 2wd/awd friendly to the well known washout. Ample parking.
Footbridge remains intact for access to Jimmy Jimmy. Easy snow free walk un...

Just adding a photo of the bridge at the entrance

Francis Bailey - Apr 05, 2025

There’s a gate at the entrance now and active logging just down the road

Francis Bailey - Apr 05, 2025

Same conditions as reported before. There was quite a bit rockfall on the upper section we had to remove but it was straightforward.

There’s a big...

Francis Bailey - Apr 05, 2025

Bridge is still pulled, then alder covered briefly on the other side. Once on the Traverse section of road it's open and free of alder. We only wa...

Statlu Gate is open and no signs of logging yet this year. If they do start I'm sure they will lock the gate. We drove Honda CRV 9.5km and hit a wash...

Gate was locked but got the dirtbike by it. Lower down it's becoming a creek bed with loose rocks and small ruts on a steep stretch. Waterbars are sm...

Good shape to Lake of the Hanging Glacier trail at roads end. A few rough spots

Greg Jones - Aug 10, 2021
S-200
311d

Road is in good condition with small waterbars. It is a bit steep in places. Drove to patchy snow at around 650m elevation. Enough snow to ski at 700m...

Paul Schrimpf - Mar 30, 2025

Snowline is currently at about 900m. No new washouts from the winter.

Alessandro Lanius - Apr 01, 2025

[From BC Gov] - road closed at 8km due to a washout. At least one month before repairs. See: https://www.castanet.net/news/West-Kelowna/541592/Drive-B...

Backroad Status - Apr 01, 2025

Definitely a technical one, optimally you want a capable rig with ~1ft+ clearance and diff lockers... did it in my stock Honda CR-V. Made it up last y...

Theo Taylor - Mar 29, 2025

Good conditions, lots of fresh logging after the gate.
Some sedans made it to Skwellepil camp entrance - parked on the road, not down ;)
Gate was op...

Oleg Ku - Mar 29, 2025

Looks like a grader has gone up the entrance of the spur a few yards and pushed a bunch of debris in the way. Might be able to get through on a dirtbi...

Theo Taylor - Mar 30, 2025

Decent conditions to around 8km. No snow on the road (March 30, 2025). Some mud, rocks, potholes, and ruts that could be challenging for a 2wd, but no...

Gavin Luymes - Mar 30, 2025

Gate at 4.5km was open still on the weekend. Tree planters are working the cut block at the 6km mark and the road is generally good condition until 4k...

Francis Bailey - Mar 30, 2025

Previous bulletins hold true. Without high clearance 4WD don’t even try even if the first 500-800m are doable as you won’t be able to park and turning...

Paul Ramu - Mar 29, 2025

Gate at 2km is open! Road was in great condition up to 2193-4 branch, barely any potholes if any at all. Didn’t get a look at anything further than th...

Gate is locked and the 3pm daily sign is still up. I don't think they are logging up there just yet since it's still snowy at 650m. Maybe in summe...

Snow starts around 34km mark. Just had enough clearance in a stock Tacoma with skid plates, any lower and you'll be high centred on the snow between t...
