The Gleason FSR has a section that is flooded but passable with an SUV, water levels may change and the road may eventually wash out.
The Hedrick Lake trail was clear of snow until the last 1 km to the Lake, where we navigated constant snow. The trail was in good shape for the first 6km then slowly becomes rough and hard to follow due to a lot of deadfall. Water crossings were high so be careful.

Description:
This hike is located a 2.5-hour drive northeast of Prince George, BC. Follow the same directions to get to Fang Mt or The Farm, driving into the McGregor mountains down Pass Lake Road. This hike is very remote, but the trail itself does not have much elevation gain. There is no cell signal in this area, so be prepared for emergencies, as there are also several creek crossings that can be very dangerous, including the fact that they can rise much higher throughout the day.
The cabins and boats at the lake are private property, not for public use or abandoned. The owner has no problem with people enjoying what’s there; however, out of courtesy, please contact them ahead of time if you plan to use them. Out of respect for the use of private property, please contact Eric Hanson with McGregor River Outfitters. 250-614-3488.
They have owned these cabins for nearly 30 years. We have left the one unlocked to prevent damage from people breaking in, and for people to enjoy.
