Volunteers report that they have refreshed the lower portion of the Clearwater River Trail.
Those wishing to hike the refreshed portion should drive to the start point, which is 8.6 km north of Wells Gray Infocenter on Clearwater Valley Road.
Look for an access on the west side of the road, about 200 m past the snowmobile parking lot.
A 10 minute walk will bring you to the Clearwater River Trail itself.
Turn left (south) and it will take you to the road below the old garbage dump.
It is about 180 m down the road and you get back on the river trail.
Less than a four hour walk from the start point will bring you to the Riverview subdivision in Clearwater near Dutch Lake, where you should have a car waiting.
The refreshed section has been marked with flagging and paint on trees. All junction points have small signs indicating the direction to go.
