Little Joe Creek trail can  be accessed  from four different trailheads within the Babine Provincial Park network. This description is accessed from the most direct trailhead which is located off the Babine Lake Road at 30.5 km. The (yellow) 30 km marker is on the left hand side of the road travelling North and a blue sign on the left-hand side indicates the Little Joe Creek access. Follow this old cutblock road for 300 meters, here you'll see a parking area and sign for the trailhead. Ink your name in the book and start hiking!

 The trail starts out in a mature Balsam forest with the odd Hemlock scattered about.  The gradient is quite easy to moderate, with bridges crossing the major tributaries to Little Joe Creek. The trail leaves the creek at about 2 kilometers and meanders for another kilometer. The trail takes a distinct change as you enter stunted balsam trees due to an old avalanche slide.  Here the views open for the first time and a headwall is in sight. A steep, rocky pitch for about 300 meters will send the weary back to the truck if not motivated  to continue upward. Fret not, it's a short trudge compared to the rest of the trail. Keep on going and a T-junction appears with a sign.  Follow the path to the left to continue to the lakes via Little Joe Creek trail or head to the right up Eagle Pass (Higgins Creek). 

 If your choice was left, then you'll be heading on up to Little Joe Lakes. Keep an eye out for Hoary marmots and mountain goats. From the junction the trail eases up on the lactic acid and heads on through some more sub-alpine forest giving you relief from the sun for a few more minutes.  Soon the forest disappears and the alpine is gained with peaks surrounding you. The trail continues through scree slopes and you'll see the lakes directly to your left (south).  Surrounded by sensitive wetlands, the best access to the water is to the west at the large lake along the rocks. If you're brave enough, take a dip to rejuvenate those tired bones.

 The trail continues past the lake to a junction at the summit.  From here you can carry on left to the Lyon Creek Trail or straight ahead through the Mcabe trail.
