Location:
The park is located approximately 50 kilometres north-east of 100 Mile House, and very close to Canim Beach Park and Ruth Lake Park. Although close to the community of 100 Mile House, there is no road access. The best way into the park is by float plane. Logging roads from the north side approach fairly closely, and experienced backcountry navigators could travel overland into the park that way (there are no trails). There is private land to the south with no access to the park.
Topographic maps of the park are: 92 P/14 and 92 P/15. These maps (and a compass) should be used by anyone venturing into the park since there are no trails or roads.
