Getting there
From the junction of Highway 3B and 3/6 in Salmo, travel 3.6 km west towards Trail, on Highway 3. Just before a small bridge over Erie Creek, turn right onto the "Second Relief Road". This road is paved for the first 200 meters, then turns into a good 2 wheel drive gravel road. Within 1 km you will see the "Erie Creek Forest Service Road" sign. Continue up this road. The road forks at 7 km, stay straight ahead (to the left). The road forks again at 8.5 km, again stay left, onto Grassy Creek Road, descending into the valley. Cross over the bridge, at 10 km. The Recreation site is immediately after the bridge, with sites 1-3 on the right side and site 4 on the left.
