• Site Description:Grizzly Creek recreation site is an ideal base camp for explorations up Koch, Greasybill and Grizzly Creeks. This site would make a good rest stop before exploring the rough 4 wheel drive road that goes over the height of land and down to Lower Arrow Lake near Fauquier. The two campsites are scenically situated on rock ledges adjacent to Koch Creek. On a hot summer day the pools below the rock ledges are most inviting. Stream fishing above the bridge rewards the patient angler with brook trout. The surrounding area offers good huckleberry picking and mushroom gathering.

• Driving Directions:On Highway 6, near Passmore, look for the Provincial Park signs for "(Valhalla) Drinnon Pass Turn-off". Following these signs turn left onto "Upper Passmore Road". The first 3 km of this road are paved. At 3.7 km fork left onto the "Little Slocan Forest Service Road", a good 2 wheel drive gravel road. Continue on this road following the "Valhalla" signs. At 5.2 km fork right. At 6 km you will cross Airy Creek. At 9 km fork right. At 12.7 km you will cross Koch Creek. At 13.2 km, stop following the "Valhalla" signs and turn left onto the "Koch Creek Forest Service Road". Travel up Koch Creek for 9.2 km. Turn left, over a major bridge crossing to the other side of Koch Creek. The Grizzly Creek Recreation Site is on your left.
