Driving Directions: The drive to the Nahatlatch Lookout is very scenic. From the town of Boston Bar, turn west (at the gas station) onto the North Bend Ferry Road and follow it across the bridge over the Fraser River to the small community of North Bend. Stay on the main road through North Bend which is called Chaumox Road. Follow Chaumox Road in a northerly direction for about 6.0 km on paved road and another 3.0 km on gravel until you reach the yellow kilometre signs. At the 0 km sign, take the left fork to stay on the main road which is the beginning of the Nahatlatch Forest Service Road. Carry on to the 3.0 km sign and take the right fork in the road. Continue on until the road crosses a high bridge over the Nahatlatch River at approximately 4.7 km. After another 1.5 km, turn right onto the road leading to the Nahatlatch Lookout. This is a private road for the first 3.0 km and should be respected as such. Travel up the road for approximately 2.0 km and take the left fork at that point, keeping to the left at all subsequent forks in the road for the remaining 7.0 km to the lookout tower. While the initial section of the road to the lookout does not appear too difficult, it quickly turns into a steep, switch-backed road with water bars and should only be attempted with four-wheel drive vehicles.
