Dog Bay Road - Outlook Loop. From Sunrise Lodge go to Baptiste Lake North Road. Go right to Dog Bay Road at km 0.6. Follow Dog Bay Road past Hay Bay Trail where the road becomes "Unmaintained" and fun. At km 6.1, turn left onto Outlook Loop Trail, and easy ride to about the 8.5 km mark, where it starts to get hilly. At 9.4 km, you will see the lake to your left. At km 11.5 Outlook Loop Trail goes right from the main trail. This intersection is easy to miss, but on my last ride, there was a "Washout Ahead" sign here. (If you come t o a major washout - small lake - at 12.5 km, you've missed the turn.) On Outllok Loop, at km 12.0 the trail has collapse from a small washput and you'll have to carry your bike through. It's an easy portage of a few metres. At km 15.0, you arrive back at Dog Bay Road. Turn right and return to Sunrise Lodge.

Lost Trail Loop. I found this trail by chance and I love it! From S unrise Lodge go to Baptiste Lake North Road. Go right to Dog Bay Road at km 0.6.

It looks overgrown but do it! There are several side trails along the way but stay on what appears to be the main trail; it's easy to take a wrong turn. At km 10.7, you'll come to and intersection. Up the trail to the left is a gate, go right to km 11.3 where you arrive at Herschel Forest Trail and McGarry Flats. Go right through McGarry Flats to the stop sign at km 12.5 and turn right. At 13.0 km, the road turns left - DON'T - go straight, through the tree debris to 13.3 km. You are back to Baptiste Lake North Road. Turn right and return to Sunrise Lodge.
