It's closed until 2026 for a gas pipeline installation.

And don't be surprised if it's permanently gated after that date like most of the other forest roads in the area.  Sure hope not.

Sad

the Coquitlam Road is the watershed access and is controlled by the GVRD. It's not a public road. Access to the watershed above the dam is restricted as it is part of our watershed supply.

Well if the gates 's open thats their fault

Just wait until they ban wading.

Are people still accessing the bar with their vehicles?  I thought there were barriers to prevent that?

As I complained about earlier, there is literally no full public vehicle access to the river shore between Mission and Hope anymore.
The powers to be are too lazy to go after the problem people, so everyone gets penalized instead with blanket bans.

seems to be an article from 2021. Something current might be better to post

Any service road in Coquitlam is gated or owned by the city with no trespassing. Same for North Vancouver. Only way to the Indian right now is by water and you should contact the First Nations band to use their dock. Also no salmon fishing last I checked.

Not that I have heard of .

Have you had a look at google earth or other satellite images sources? You may find something there but frankly even if they were publicly accessible, which I don't think they are, they look to be  much longer routes than via Stawamus.

Yeah, I did. I found some forest service roads that lead to where I want. One starts in Coquitlam and, after a few turns, leads to Indian River. But I'm not sure if these are closed or if anyone's tried them.
