Default Blackett Lake Trail

Curious if anyone knows the width of the post at the Blackett lake trail entrance? SXS these days are getting pretty wide and with no snow I was thinking about heading in for a weekend trip.
Cheers

There are 2 access points to the South of Blackett. In the winter, i would cut across Helena Lake. It would be faster, easier on your machines too.
I doubt its used nearly as much as the main trail in, so you may need to clear deadfall.

In fact, it looks like its a winter truck access.
