How to get to Spruce Lake Wilderness Adventures
From Vancouver via Hurley Forestry Road (4.5hrs)
The Hurley River Forestry Road is gravel and summer access only.
From Vancouver take Highway 1 to Horseshoe Bay then Highway 99 to
Whistler. 35kms after Whistler the road forms a “T” you turn left
into the village of Pemberton (gas up here it is the last stop)
After crossing the railroad tracks the road forms a “T” again.
You will come to a stop sign where you will turn right onto Birch
Avenue. Follow this road which will turn into Pemberton Meadow Road.
After 23kms (14.4 miles) you will see signs for “Coast Mountain
Outdoor School” and Gold Bridge, turn right at the pay phone. After
9km, you will cross over a bridge and will see a sign “Hurley River

This
logging road starts out to be steep but flattens out on top. It
then goes downhill into the Bridge River Valley. You will see a
sign to the right which says Bralorne, but follow the road towards
Gold Bridge. After 60kms (35miles) on this gravel road you enter
a road which is seal coated. Turn right. You are now on Highway
40.
After 200 yards (1/4km) you see Gold Bridge on the right but stay
on Hwy.40 and after 8 kms (5miles) you see the Tyax sign. Turn left
and after another 4kms you will see Gun Creek Road on your left.
Turn here. Spruce Lake Wilderness Adventures is the first driveway
