Notes
Update (2024-03-28). Most of the upper bench on both the north and south side of the creek has been logged. Not entirely clearcut, but about 4 out of every 5 trees taken out. Slash piles not yet burned. Map not currently in a usable state, will need some major updating prior to use (but I think should be usable in 1-2 years).

5 Meter contours from raw LiDAR basemap.
PRODUCTION AND REVISIONS:
Created in 2017 by David Bakker. Open Orienteering Mapper file created at 1:15000 but best printed at 1:10000 on a letter sized sheet.LAND OWNERSHIP:
About half the map likely to be logged in the next 2 years (August 2020) - flagging tape for planned areas is already out in the woods.
Provincial Crown land, except for the park at the trailhead which is CSRD. No permissions required for the trails at large, but lots of dirtbikers use the area. Best to contact Dirt Biking club about event dates to avoid heavy dirtbiking use: http://shuswapdirtriders.com/
If using the park area, talk to Ryan Nitchie at the the CSRD to get a free permit. Application form is here, and turn around time historically has been excellent.
