East River Road

Trail Overview

East River Road begins at the end of Mersey Road Connector, accessible from Highway 3. The first 18 km is well-maintained, with hard-packed dirt and gravel, offering numerous spots for camping and access to many lakes and trails. Be cautious of active logging in the area. After Brigley Lake, as East River Road turns north, it becomes an old, unmaintained logging road with many washouts, large ruts, rocks, and puddles. This section runs north-south along the east side of Panuke Lake and deteriorates as it continues north. There are narrow parts in the northern section that will result in pin striping. Eventually, it connects to Hiking Trail Road and the rest of the Bowater Mersey trail system.
