Description
Gib’s Trail is maintained by Park’s staff to a scenic lookout at Stormy Lake. Beyond the lookout, the trail is an undeveloped linear backcountry trail that eventually leads out of the park into adjacent Crown lands. It is only recommended for experienced explorers at this point since outside of the park it has several branches and dead ends. A GPS, compass, and accurate map are recommended if you plan to leave the park boundaries. Sections of this trail remain wet all season and several beaver dam crossings can add to the difficulty.
The maintained portion of the trail with Restoule Provincial Park is a great hike to a lookout on Stormy Lake. For a technical challenge, a mountain bike ride of the trail is a fun way to spend a couple hours.
