Partial Opening of West Arm of Murtle Lake in Wells Gray Provincial Park for visitor use:
Due to reduced fire activity and risk to the public, a large portion of the West arm of Murtle Lake is again open for public use. Campsites #7 (Kostal) and #8 (File Creek), along with the File Creek portage trail and Anderson Lake trail will remain closed due to public safety risks.
