There are three routes and all of them are gravel logging roads to access this area access: 1) From Highway 5 south of Barriere, via Agate Bay Road and then along the west side and northern end of Adams Lake (80 km).2) From the Trans Canada Highway 1 at Squilax to Adams Lake roads (95 km).
3) From Highway 5 at Vavenby, via logging roads (30 km). Please make sure to use caution on logging roads and especially coming here as this is an active logging area. The closest communities are Kamloops, Clearwater, Barriere, Vavenby and Little Fort. The closest public telephone is at Vavenby Store, approximately 30 km away.
