About

Historic packhorse trail built in 1924 that extended 25 km from Avoca W Rd up the valley for forest fire watch and fighting. Many sections of the trail have been lost over time. Now, the Pack Trail has been incorporated into the North Fork Wild trails and is closed past the Lower Loop due to a landslide.


Access

Travel approx. 28 km east of Sicamous on Hwy 1 and turn left (north) on Avoca Road (just west of the Perry River bridge). Turn left onto the Perry River FSR and drive another 800 m to the upper trailhead parking area. Or continue straight on Avoca Rd to the lower trailhead parking area.
