Beauty! Thanks for the update, that to me looks like the road is clear all the way to upper and lower K. Plus the road up to spray as well!

Scroll down and click on the area you're interested in to see what's open, what's closed, and any pertinant notes regarding access.

Was there last night and the waterfall is fishing well! I must be dedicated because it was cold and windy and I still rowed my pontoon down there. LOL

Was up there today. Was nice as it was unusually quiet for this time of year. Talked to a couple of people that hiked up to rawson lake. They said the trail was fine. I'll be heading up there for opening day. Spray lakes road was in the best shape I've seen it in years after all the work they've done to fix it up. Increadable to see every little creek was a ragging river during the big rain event. Would have been something to see when all that rain was coming down.
Mind you you wouldn't have wanted to be at the wrong spot during the flash flooding.

From what I've heard....That area is open some days and sometimes closed....depending on road construction schedules.

So for now....you take your chances

Thanks. I did check there, but it was last updated the 11th. I was hoping someone might have more current information.

We were up there this past Wednesday (July 17th) and 40 was still closed at the turn-off. Spent a few hours at the Upper Lake with some success. :-) Both were approx 45cm long.
