About Owen Flats "A" & "B"

This site is comprised of two areas. Owen Flats 'A' is an open, roadside site with a gravel boat launch, picnic table and fire ring. Owen Flats 'B' is found alongside the Morice River off the Old Chisholm Road. Morice River is headwaters of the Bulkley River and "steelhead paradise", boasting good runs of salmon and steelhead amongst other species. This site is popular with anglers and hunters during fall but can also be a pleasant spot near the river during spring/summer. There is good river access and the site can be a popular put in/take out for those experienced in rafting/paddling/drifting the river. There is 9 campsites in the forested area. The access road can be prohibitive for RV's/trailers with a narrow, rough access road and tight turn around. The road is often busy with logging traffic, a VHF radio with Resource Road channels is recommended for travel here. Please be sure to purchase a fishing licence and consult the BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis for limits, special regulations and closures: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/sports-recreation-arts-and-culture/outdoor-recreation/fishing-and-hunting/freshwater-fishing/region_6_skeena.pdf. Also, be sure to check the DFO non-tidal salmon limits, openings and closures: https://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/rec/bc-zones-cb-eng.html
