Re: Ram Creek warm spring « Reply #10 on: Sep 28th, 2008, 9:51pm » Quote Quote Modify Modify The turn for Premier Lake Prov. Park is 0.5 km from the Skookumchuck gas station. Follow this (Sheep Creek Road). at 7.9 km, go straight, not right to Premier Lake. In another 1.6 km take the right (main) branch. Pavement ends in 0.8km where you turn right on the White-Ram forest service road. Springs are up this road, 21.1 km from the highway.
They are on the left, you absolutely can't miss them.

I was up there 3 times this summer, and the road is getting very very bad. A ranger said they are not maintaining it anymore, because the springs are in a nature reserve and they would rather less and less people go there.
I would highly recommend a 4x4 for the ground clearance.
I think that in a few more years, even those will not make it up there.

I took these co-ords with my feet sitting in the spring.
My GPS said "accurate to 8 meters"

50 01.974'
115 35.557'
