Trail Overview
This is a short, quiet out-and-back offshoot trail in the Ta Ta Creek area. This route is an officially deactivated BC Forest Service Road. While it remains open to public motorized use, "deactivated" means the province no longer maintains the road surface or clears hazards; travel is strictly at your own risk, and drivers should stay alert for unmaintained drainage features, encroaching brush, or windfall. Despite the lack of maintenance, this spur is a hidden gem for campers seeking solitude away from the main FSR dust. It winds through the timber to offer a couple of fantastic, secluded dispersed campsites tucked into the trees, complete with well-established fire rings and excellent natural wind protection. For full-size rigs, the route ends at a large, intentionally built earthen berm. A convenient turnaround and parking spot sits right before the blockade. 4x4 trucks and SUVs must stop here, but narrower OHVs like side-by-sides (UTVs), ATVs, and dirt bikes can go past the berm, or you can park and continue into the backcountry on foot. There is no cell service along this spur, so download your offline maps ahead of time.
Difficulty
Although this is an unmaintained, deactivated road, the main corridor remains in very manageable shape until the final approach to the berm. It is rated a 2 primarily for a minor, uneven scramble near the end before the turnaround point. High-clearance 2WD or AWD vehicles can comfortably handle this spur in dry conditions, though 4WD is always helpful on unmaintained forestry surfaces. Full-size vehicles cannot pass the heavy deactivation berm at the end of the route.
