Trail Overview
This two-vehicle-width gravel road starts in the rolling grasslands and quickly enters the forest, which becomes denser as you proceed. It's a good idea to air down your tires for comfort, as the road is somewhat rough. You'll encounter small to large potholes, rutted sections, a fair amount of washboard, and a few smoother stretches. There's a steeper section about one kilometer before Missezula Lake, but overall, there's not much elevation gain. At the end of this stretch of Dillard Creek FSR, you'll find a beautiful lake and a recreation site. It tends to get busier in the summer months. Cell service on the FSR is hit-or-miss, improving a bit at the recreation site, but it's not entirely reliable.
History
The Missezula Lake area was historically home to the Upper Similkameen Indian Band, who used the lake and surrounding area for hunting, fishing, and gathering.
