I was wondering if anyone has gone up to Jones Lake... I am hoping to go up there between now and early May.

[Every Day]

The road was majorly washed out.... not sure if it has been fixed yet.

The road still appears to be closed

 I would guess that Jones would still have ice on it.  Has anyone heard?  That road going up has always been bad.

jones more than likely has ice on it still....yesterday i went up to weaver and it looked and felt like the ice had just come off...
i then tried to get up the road to jones but i though i better turn around since i was in my 2WD truck. road was pretty knarley, and i didn't even get that far up...at least another week or two i would say...everything seems to be a week behind this year on account of the longer winter...

[Every Day]

I realize the road has always been bad....
But right now there are spots that are unpassable.... when we had that huge rain event with all the slides, etc the road got washed out in 2 or 3 places by big slides from all the clear cutting from what I was told... They will need to repair it soon because of the Hydro Dam up there.

I drove up to the road last week. Gated at the bottom.

It's in the progress of being repaired, should be open in a little while.

I tried to go up there early this winter and found the stupid gate right at the bottom. At least the gate is at the very bottom so you don't try to drive a ways in then find the gate.

Wonder if anyone of you regular Jones Lake fishermen can help me with the following.  How would a Subaru Forester do on the road up to Jones Lake.  Not now when it's being repaired and not just after they've levelled it, but when the road is in its most usual condition?  That is, would that vehicle be appropriate for multiple trips to the lake? Thanks in advance all

seen slamed lowriders and brand new beamers drive the road depends how much u like your vehicle and how slow u want to drive road stays in good condition normally tell summer when people start digging rutts trying to get up the first few hills

I take mine on much worse roads. It's got the clearance for rough roads. They usually have that road in pretty good shape unless you don't have clearance.

Thanks troutbreath and skunked for the feedback!

No problem at all once the road is brought back to its usual condition. A Subaru Forester can take you on roads much worse than the one leading to Jones Lake. Take it slowly, though, there are some big potholes there at the best of times. The worst part of the road is the first few clicks. The farther you go, the smoother it gets.

a forester should make it no matter what the road is like
