Road closure coming to Mable Lake Forest Service Road

Jul 31, 2019 | 2:35 PM

The Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resorces will be temporarily closing the Mabel Lake Forest Service Road between the 14 kilometer and 16 kilometer marks, beginning Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2019, and ending Tuesday, Aug. 20, 2019.

The ministry said the closure is so crews can work on subsurface drainage and road realignment in order to improve public safety.

The Mabel Lake Forest Service Road is located on the east side of Mabel Lake, which is north of Lumby and south of Three Valley Gap. This road is part of B.C.’s 55,000-kilometer forest service road network that provides access to British Columbia’s backcountry.

Alternative routes to access Mabel Lake Forest Service Road (FSR) include:

  • From Enderby/Ashton Creek, take Enderby Mabel Lake Road to Three Valley-Mabel FSR, to Mabel Lake FSR
  • From Highway 1, take Three Valley Mabel-Wap FSR to Mabel Lake FSR

Access to Mabel Lake FSR (south of the construction zone):

  • From Lumby, take Lumby-Mabel Lake Road to Mabel Lake FSR
