ROCKSLIDE LAKE TRAIL

The trail to Rockslide Lake is an easy walk over a low pass, through an ever-changing wildflower display. Rockslide Lake,  just below the pass, is the headwaters of Falls Creek. It is a good fishing lake, stocked regularly by the Ministry of Environment. 

Difficulty: A1
Elevation gain: 36m (120′)
Distance: 1km
Time: 20 minutes one-way
Map: Arrow and Kootenay Lake Forest District Recreation Map

Drive:
0.0 From the junction of Highwya 3A and 6 at Playmor, travel north towards Nakusp 23.5km. Turn right onto a gravel road marked Pedro Creek Road.
23.8km Turn left onto Pedro Creek FSR (steep gravel road)
33.8km Turn right onto a road with tall stakes painted orange at the top.
34.8km Park well off road. The trail begins on the left-hand side opposite the 11km sign.

Trail: The trail goes over a low pass. A rough trail goes around the edge of the lake giving access to the entire lake. There are no facilities, but campers have made a small clearing that will accommodate a tent. 
If the fish aren’t biting, the rock slide is fun to climb for an eagle-eye view of the area. Or you can eat huckleberries depending on the season.
On the walkout, there is a good view of the Valhallas.

I would like to think of myself as a full time traveler. I have been retired since 2006 and in that time have traveled every winter for four to seven months. The months that I am "home", are often also spent on the road, hiking or kayaking. I hope to present a website that describes my travel along with my hiking and sea kayaking experiences.
