The 21 Mile Creek drainage is a non-motorized zone and snowmobiling is prohibited. The Federation of Mountain Clubs of BC is conducting a user survey to measure the frequency of illegal snowmobile use in 21 Mile Creek. The results from the survey will guide compliance and enforcement actions by government conservation officers.

The non-motorized zone includes Rainbow Lake, Rainbow Mountain, Gin & Tonic Lakes and the north side of Mt. Sproatt. Hanging Lake, the west side of Gin Peak and the south side of Mt. Sproatt are outside the non-motorized zone.

If you’ve done a trip into 21 mile creek, please take 1 minute of your time to complete the survey. Only one member of your party needs to complete the survey. The survey will be open all season to collect as much data as possible. Data is welcome from any trip since March 12 2009. That’s the day the Sea to Sky LRMP went into effect.
