    If the weather stays mild, the flow from Della Falls will start soon.

    We left the Ark at 6:30 am. Started on the trail at 7:30 am.   We should have put bug stuff on right a way, next time.  We didn’t go across the bridge that is out, we crossed about 400 m above the bridge in 1/3m of water. Made Della camp at around 4pm. Day 2 up to Love lake, a steep hike but the best view of  every thing around. We went back down at 4:30 pm to our camp at Della  Falls. Day 3 Up and on the way out at 9:00 am. We had lunch down on the river at Margaret Creek another great spot to stop. Made it back in time for a swim before the water taxi picked us up at 5:00pm.  We will be back to go to Septimus and Rosseau and maybe Della Lake.

    Leaving the Ark Resort 6:30am. Great Central Lake was flat calm.

    The first 6k on the trail, lots of Bugs, but if you use lots of bug stuff  it`s ok.We had lunch at Good camp, Then up to Della camp. A  great shower under the Falls.

    Next day up to Love Lake The Best View  of every thing around. The lake is warm for swimming . A few Black  Flys. Made camp at Love Lake, the only spot there.

    Day three, leaving  Love Lake at 7:30am. The Best View of Della Falls the early morning  Sun. Made it back down the trail to Good camp. What a nice place to  have lunch+a cold beer. Back to the west end of Great Central at 4pm.

    We have had a very good time. B.C. parks could do a lot better to  maintain the trail.

    We started hiking at 11.30 am. from the start of trail to Della. Arrived at the camping area at the base of the falls at 5.30 pm.

    There are still many trees across the trail ,but it was easily passable. There is no snow on the trail. Crossing the creek were the bridge is out is relatively easy. The water is roughly 3 ft. at the deepest . The Falls had lots of water coming down.

    The hike back took about 5 hours . To cross the creek one should have a rope to be safe. About 30m would be lots.

    For the first 3 km the mosquitoes are bad. Some brush and trees are across the trail, also some very wet spots up to Margaret Creek. The trail is good and clear between Margaret Creek and the closed bridge, before Good Camp.  About 400 m up the river is an option to cross. The water is waist high (about one meter) at fording spot. A rope at least 10 m is needed to cross.
    Some snow before Steel Bridges but passable. More snow 1 km after the bridges. After this, the trail and the camp at the base of Della Falls were dry and clear.
    The Falls were beautiful!  At the time, it’s a real adventure and only for experienced hikers.
