Start Location: adjacent to public parking area. Water and outdoor toilets are available.
Precautions: The main road to Loon Lake Camp will be active with University Students driving to Lodge. Look both ways before crossing gravel roads.
NO DOGS and NO BICYCLES on the PRIVATE research forest lands.
Snow fell Monday night Apr 11th. The forest is not like the dry conditions of September 2004 BC Orienteering Champs. Bridges are slippery. Logs are slippery. Trails are, however, quite clear and runnable.
