To reach Scout Island you will have to turnoff on Highway 103 to 1254 Pipeline Road.  Initially you will be on Hiking Trail Road (dirt road) which then merges onto the Pipeline Road at the fork (about 1 km in, keep right at the fork up over the small bridge and straight to the trailhead).  It is about 5.5 kms from the Highway 103 turnoff to the trailhead.  The trailhead is at the bottom of a steep hill and you will see a small turn out on the righthand side for parking– if you look back toward the hill you can see the trailhead at the bottom of the hill on the other side of the road.  The beginning at Hiking Trail Rd can be a bit bumpy as well as some other sections because of the road construction trucks.  The road is somewhat maintained because tree harvesting occurs in the area.  It is a ½ km hike from the trailhead to the bridge at Scout Island.  The trail can be very swampy at the bottom near the lake.  Be careful on the roads as there are ATVs and vehicles travelling the roads.

Please be extra careful turning right immediately after the new overpass as traffic is moving quickly on the 103.
