Dorr Cut-off Road

Dorr Cut-off Road is a well-graded and maintained main route providing access to the area from the northern side of Highway 93. You'll find a staging area right off the highway, complete with informational kiosks featuring QR codes for online map downloads and area information. While this is the primary route for campers and fifth wheels, numerous offshoots provide access to the many 4x4 and single-track routes in the area. Be sure to watch for these vehicles crossing the road as they explore. If you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the longhorn herd grazing along the shoulder. This trail has quite a lot of washboard and the occasional pothole. Be prepared to pull off onto the shoulder to allow fifth wheels or campers to pass. Otherwise, it's wide enough for two vehicles to pass. Cell service in the Lake Koocanusa area can be intermittent. There was no Verizon service at the Grasmere Staging #1 Area. To ensure you have consistent map coverage, please download your offline maps before exploring the area. Crown Land Camping: Canadian Crown land is open to Canadian residents for free camping. Out-of-country visitors, particularly from the US, will need to obtain a camping permit from the nearest Front Counter BC office in Cranbrook before camping on Crown land if camping outside of the paid campsite.
