Getting there
Recent new access to the site is via the Juliet Creek FSR in which the local forestry company has constructed a new, less steep road to the lake. As it is new it may be a little wet and rough in 2015. Take the Juliet Creek exit off the Coquihalla Highway then drive about 1 km south along the paved section of the service road. Turn right and proceed along this gravel road for about 0.6 km and then turn right onto the Bottletop Road and drive about 6.7 km. Turn left and this small campsite is only about 100 yards away.
