Tips

The Millennium Trail begins near the upper parking lot. First, follow the Parking Lot Trail and cross the corridor where three massive penstocks of the hydroelectric power plant were once laid above ground. Following the power plant's reconstruction in 2019 and its relocation into the rock at a depth of 65 meters, the pipes were removed. This created an open area that is gradually being filled and will be planted in the future. Recent maps still show a pedestrian bridge for crossing the low-lying corridor; this bridge has since been removed and replaced by an earthen dam (status May 2025).
The 2.5 km long Millennium Trail runs from the suspension bridge at Elk Falls through a forest of old-growth Douglas firs, between the Campbell River Gorge and the aforementioned corridor. At the Canyon View Pedestrian Bridge, the trail merges into the Canyon View Trail.
