Silverking Basin Smithers

The Silver King Basin Trail is located within Babine Mountains Provincial Park. Located just north of Smithers, BC, the trail is actually an old mining road leading to old claims and workings in the area.
Directions:
To reach the trail head turn off Highway 16 onto Old Babine Lake Road. This is three km east of Smithers or 300 metres east of the Bulkley River Bridge on Hwy 16. Follow BC Parks signs leading to "Driftwood Canyon Provincial Park" where you can stop for a picnic lunch and explore fossil beds. Continue past that park another 5 km to the trailhead parking and information kiosk. The road is gated at that point, with no motorized use beyond. Note that there are several other excellent trails starting in the same area. For more info on these see the BC Parks website http://wlapwww.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/babmtn.htm
