After turning off the highway a small bridge is crossed and a left takes you up a small hill 1 km to a gated road continuing straight and a sign marks Wedgemont Lake trail head right pointing up a hill, this is usually as far as the road is plowed in the winter, it is a further 2 km to the summer parking lot located at about 800m elevation. low clearance vehicles usually have no problem on the access road these days.
The hike up to the lake is on a an easy to follow well flagged trail that climbs up through the forest steep for an hour then levels a bit before reaching treeline where in opens up and becomes quite steep up to the flat lake area at about 1900m. In winter this trail can be quite gruelling on skins as parts become to steep and exposed for skinning. This keeps much of the winter visitors to a minimum as people opt for easier to access areas. The hut is about 250m past the top of the steep part on approach set atop a steep hill that drops down to the lake.
