General Visitor Information

The combination of prime bear habitat within the park and the low visibility on trails, due to thick bush, increases the possibility of bear/human confrontations. Always make noise while hiking or wear a bear bell.

Location

Netalzul Meadows is not easily accessible. Travel time off Highway 16 is approximately 1.5 - 2 hours and includes 140 km of mostly unpaved, narrow roads and 1 km of hard to follow ATV trails. Once in the park, thick undergrowth and tall meadow plants make for difficult travel and much bush whacking.

Netalzul Meadows is accessed via the Upper Fulton Forest Service Road, off of Babine Lake Road. At km 53 the Upper Fulton Forest Service Road ends at Camp Lake. There is a parking area and an ATV trail leading to the lake. The ATV trail continues northwest into an old cutblock with substantial regrowth. Experience with a map and compass or a GPS will be needed to navigate through the cutblock and into the meadow.
