MU 8-8
Summerland - Trout lake - Darke Lake

After leaving 8-7, the Princeton-Summerland backroad climbs through open rangeland high above Trout Creek. This is the Bald Range which used to have (the best late season mule deer hunting in B.C.). Halfway along the Bald Range an old logging access road runs uphill to the top of the ridge. Considered a 4x4 road, it provides access to fair mule deer hunting, heavily hunted. The Brenda Mine road from Peachland runs into good mule deer ridges in 8-8. Ten kilometers from Hwy 97 the Brenda Mine road (paved) continues uphill to the right, and the gravelled Penask Lake road turns left. About 19 km along, a logging main drops down to the left past Glen Lake, thence up onto the flank of Kathleen Mountain. Fair mule deer hunting, occasional moose. Several roads drop down into the Princeton-Summerland back roads from this logging network.
