🚨 Protect Access to the Incomappleux Valley 🚨
More than 70 community members, property owners, recreation organizations, industry representatives, tourism operators, and local government officials recently gathered in Trout Lake to stand together for one important message:
Pause the planned deactivation of the Incomappleux Forest Service Road and meet with the people who will be directly affected.
This road is much more than a Forest Service Road. It is the only ground access to homes, private property, recreation areas, mineral tenures, tourism opportunities, search and rescue access, wildfire response, and public lands that countless British Columbians enjoy.
ATVBC was proud to stand alongside the Incomappleux Stakeholder Coalition and many other organizations to support responsible, sustainable access while recognizing the importance of public safety. During the site tour, participants observed that practical engineering and stewardship solutions exist that could address safety concerns without permanently removing access.
The Coalition is calling on the Province to:
✅ Pause all deactivation work.
✅ Meet directly with affected stakeholders.
✅ Conduct meaningful consultation.
✅ Evaluate practical solutions that maintain safe, responsible public access.
ATVBC believes that collaboration—not closure—is the best path forward. We encourage government to work with local communities, recreation groups, property owners, and industry partners before making irreversible decisions.
Together, we can protect responsible access to British Columbia's public lands for current and future generations.
