The Fraser Mountain Trail trailhead sits just off Highway 16, approximately 14. 6 km east of the Fraser Lake Tourist Information Centre.

Drivers turn south off the highway into a small parking area that holds a half-dozen or more vehicles; the turnoff is easy to miss, as it sits on a corner, so care is advised when approaching.

The trail itself is steep with rocky sections, making sturdy hiking shoes a practical necessity. It begins to the left of the parking lot and is marked with orange diamonds.

Hikers can also access the route by driving Fraser Mountain Road as far as conditions allow, then continuing on foot to the summit lookout tower. The climb takes a couple of hours and rewards visitors with broad views of the surrounding landscape.
