Tommy Archie Lake Trail (100 Mile House)

Site Description: This recreation trail is a relatively short hiking trail that descends from the trailhead down to Tommy Archie Lake. The trail winds its way down through a mix of old growth cedar, spruce, fir and lodgepole pine. The trail is about 1.3 km in length and is moderately steep, beginning at an elevation of about 1115 meters and dropping down to about 985 meters at Tommy Archie Lake. There is an outhouse and a rustic log bench located down at the lake, and the trail offers an opportunity to experience a relatively short day hike in a rather remote and secluded location.

Driving Directions: From 100 Mile House, travel north on Hwy 97 for about 1.5 km, then turn east onto Canim-Hendrix Lake Road. Travel about 20 km to the community of Forest Grove, then turn right/east at the 3-way stop sign, remaining on the Canim-Hendrix Lake Road. Proceed another 25 km, at which point the road becomes the 6000 Road (gravel). Travel to 60-18km and turn right onto the Spanish Creek Forest Service Road (7000 Road). Travel 9.4 km and turn right onto the Pendleton Forest Service Road (7100 Road). Continue another 6.8km to the trailhead and parking area, which is on the right-hand side of the road.
