Trail Overview

Deep in the heart of the stunning Cheam Mountain range, Foley Lake is a hidden gem waiting to be explored. This serene and secluded lake offers the perfect escape for outdoor enthusiasts, with opportunities for fishing, camping, paddling a small canoe, or braving its chilly waters for a refreshing swim. The journey to Foley Lake is an adventure in itself. The route begins on a well-maintained road, but after 3kilometerss, the terrain changes dramatically as you transition more profoundly into the Forest Service Road (FSR). From this point onward, expect rugged conditions, including loose debris, occasional falling rocks, potential washouts, and deep mud puddles that can challenge even experienced off-roaders. The drive spans 13kilometerss and culminates at the shores of Foley Lake, where the majestic scenery and tranquil atmosphere make an effort worthwhile. Be sure to air down your tires before tackling the FSR--this will enhance your vehicle's traction and make navigating the rough terrain much smoother.
