1.2 km east of Eastgate, Paysayten FSR. Keep left after the 6th switchback. This takes you over to the Similkimin River. There is a crossing that takes you across and up the mountain. Road ends about 4 km short of Placer Lake.
Codicil: I cannot tell you what the road or crossing condition and you proceed at your own peril.

Attempted to go up placer. Truck forget it not in this life time. Quad had a lot of trouble. A lot of scary moments and some steep parts would even attempt to turn around because you will roll. My uncle took his horses and again hard but made it. He said he won't do it again to risky. They did a lot of logging while back really messed the roads up. Deactivated parts, logs all over the place.

forget the paysayton river ,rd does not come close to placier,you can come in off the copper creek rd & start a long hike or come in from the ashanola side ,short hike into trapper lake ,and there is a good trail up the flat head all alpine country closed to motor vehicles

I drove right to the Placer Lake on Saturday, road is very rough from the parking area sign to lake but doable. Didn't see much for deer in that area, lots of clearcutting happening.

Make sure you check the hunting regs - NMV year round up top.

Yes most all that area is NMV, one of the reasons I like the area,but lately alot of people breaking the rules,a little disheartening when you backpack into an area only to have an ATV pass you !

There were lots of quad tracks in that country this summer and a nice gutpile that had been rotting for a while as well.
