Access Info

Access from Santa Rosa road, take the "Lower Dewdney Access" found on here on Trail forks. DO NOT access from Dupee Road if shuttling. New land owner (Robert) does not want motorized traffic on his private property. NO SHUTTLING UP DUPEE Power lines are his property, so you can't just skip through with your 4x4 4runner. HOWEVER, robert has added "Dewdney access" signs along his property and has assured us non motorized use is welcome as long as we are quiet and respectful. If you're not shuttling up, then ride up Dupee and use his access.

This trail is unsanctioned.
