Description And Directions

  • Site Description: This historic trail is protected under the Heritage Conservation Act under Order in Council # 0207 on February 11, 1994. Trail commences from Wells Lake and descends southwest for 4.2 km where it ends at the confluence of Holding & Coates Creek. This is where it connects to the Dewdney Trail at the edge of the Cascades Recreation Area. This is a 2 hour downward hike if free of deadfall with a 225 m elevation loss from Wells Lake at an avarage 10% grade. Non motorized.

  • Driving Directions: Access to the trailhead at Wells Lake is by driving to the end of the Whipsaw FSR. Then continue well past the cow camp and Paddy's Pond via the Lodestone/Well Lake trail. This is actually a very rough 4 wheel drive road suitable for well prepared and experienced 4 wheel drive enthusiasts. Please no driving in wet areas. Most hikers and horseback riders access the trail through the Cascade Recreation Area along the Dewdney Trail located at the 59km mark on the Tulameen FSR..
