INFO:
We normally start the Reservoir Trail from Dewdney Trunk Road but you can also start from the main parking lot down at the lake which is where we will start today.
There is a short steepish climb to the main trail after we walk from the parking area and along the road for a short bit. There is an option to hike the Interpretive Forest Trails before or after the falls. This option would be weather/terrain dependent. We will continue along the trail to Steelhead Falls. and a bit further where we will have lunch.
The trails are wide and rolling with bridge crossings. Some parts can be muddy, rooted and a little rocky as well as slippery. Once we reach a rest stop for snack/lunch we will turnaround and head back to the parking lot.
There are a couple of extra loop trails that can be included at the parking lot and midway to the Falls to increase the kms if so desired.
Read all the info and come prepared.
