The Ormond Creek Trail access point sits on the north shore of Fraser Lake at Peterson's Beach Forest Service Recreation Site, reached by heading west on Highway 16 from Fraser Lake and then north along Stella Road through the Stellat'en First Nation community for roughly 16 km.

A parking lot across from the Peterson's Beach Recreation Site sign marks the clearly signed trailhead.

From here, the trail climbs steeply at first, following orange circle markers through a stand of 300-year-old Douglas fir before entering Ormond Creek Canyon. The full out-and-back route to Ormond Lake covers approximately 26 km (16 miles).

The same trails serve cross-country skiers in winter. A well-used quad track also departs from the left side of the parking lot; hikers should be aware of ATV traffic if using that route instead.
