Raven Lake Cabin Being Replaced Update

BC Parks is reporting that the tentative dates for the demolition of Raven Lake cabin in Sugarbowl/Grizzly Den Provincial Park are from May 27th to May 31st. BC Parks ensures it will post appropriate messaging regarding the demolition on its website before the demolition begins and that it will place signs at both the Hwy. 16 East/Hungary Creek Road junction and at the Raven Lake trailhead. BC Parks would like to inform hikers that for much of the 2019 hiking season, the Raven Lake cabin will not be available to hikers and no access will be allowed around the construction site.
