This is a remote area with limited services and potentially limited cell coverage. The Upper Lake access road is associated with ongoing water-security infrastructure work, including the Upper Lake weir/dam project. Previous Gitga’at notices have specifically restricted access to the road during project work. Check current local notices and obtain authorization before visiting. Be prepared for wet, muddy and uneven terrain, changing weather, and wildlife including bears. Respect Gitga’at lands, cultural values, posted closures, and all active work areas.
