The Lundbom Lake area is just to the southeast of Merritt.   Climb the hill on Highway 5A south and look for the turn not far past the crest of the hill.   An unpaved road heads toward Marquart and Lundbom Lakes.   There are a number of double track and single track routes from Lundbom so this is a good place to park and head off on mountain bike or on foot.

An excellent trail is to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain.    Follow the rough double track northwest to Hamilton Lake and look for the route angling up at the far end.    The route takes about an hour from Lundbom Lake.   Open grasslands surround Sugarloaf with small lakes in the valley bottoms.   There are excellent views from the top.    Go for a swim in Lundbom Lake when you get back.
