Location: The
resorts at the east end of the lake can be reached by travelling
about 25 km along the Lemieux Creek Valley road from Little
Fort (the last part of the road is very rough). Prior arrangements
must be made by anyone wishing to avail of any of the services
provided by the resorts. A logging road off of highway
24 leads to the southwestern park boundary but there is
no access (road or trail) from this road to the lake. The
closest communities to the park are Little Fort and Clearwater.
