This platform sits across the canyon from Elk Falls, offering a clear, elevated view of the waterfall plunging into the Campbell River gorge below. Railings and a cantilevered design extend the viewpoint over the canyon, making it one of the best and safest places in the park to view the falls and the surrounding forest.
