Ten Mile Lake Trail Improved

QUESNEL, B.C. - Five forest workers have restored the trail and reduced the risk of forest fire in Quesnel's 10 Mile Lake Provincial Park as a result of $33,883 from the Community Development Trust's Job Opportunities Program

The restoration included the chipping of stumps and previously cleared limbs, tops and branches, and used the mulch to level and resurface 2.5 kilometres of the 3.2-kilometre loop trail. The chipping of the woody debris reduces forest fire hazards and risks in the park and the nearby community of 10 Mile Lake, and also provides a much-improved recreation trail, used by hikers in the spring and summer, and cross-country skiers in the winter. The lake is about 11 kilometres north of Quesnel on Highway 97.
