The Joe L’Orsa backcountry cabin 9 km up the Silver King Trail sleeps up to 20 guests and is available on a first come, first serve basis at $10/person/night. Pay cash at the cabin. Please be prepared to sleep outside if the cabin is full.
Location
Access to the west end of the park is off Old Babine Lake Road, which leaves Highway 16 just east of the Bulkley River bridge. Follow the signs to Driftwood Canyon Provincial Park. The summer parking lot and information map are located 7 km north of Driftwood Canyon. From there, the road is not passable to vehicle traffic. The closest communities are Smithers and Telkwa.
