Vehicle access 2 km north of Valemount centre a logging road goes west from Hwy 5 and forks one k in from Hwy 5. Left fork Upper Canoe River road.
Or vehicle access from Valemount on Hwy 5 via Canoe Forest road down the east side of Canoe Reach, or the West Lake road down the west side of the reach. Fair hunting for moose and deer off the logging spurs off either of these mains.
Jelvis .. Reach out from the Canoe .. MU 7-02 .. Region 7 .. unit 2

I have often wondered if the limited hunting access would make it a good spot to hunt using a boat to get to good areas? Any use in doing that or can people still drive to all the same areas as a boat can get to?

MU 7-02 Reached by boat near Valemount or Mica Creek Dam in the southern part.
Note: Boating on McNaughton Lake is dangerous, floating logs and debris.
Some times a lil boat or canoe can get you where vehicles can't go so yah it can work wonders but know something about using them and the lake or waterway your on.
Stick to smaller bodies of water, like smaller lakes or waterways between imho.
It's about safety and fun first.
Moose love willows and they need to be near a water source.

You can get farther down kinbasket with a boat than with a truck.Might be a good way to go. 7-2 is a big area and quite a few moose but most areas are grown over since being logged. Good luck
