    Hiking

    The recreation area here is home to parking (at a cost), a picnic area and facilities. If you fancy a really quick amble, there's a lovely 6-meter (20 ft) waterfall just a short stroll away. For something more strenuous and spectacular, there are the trails to McHugh Peak and the awesome Rabbit Lake, which nestles below the soaring Suicide Peaks.

    Hiking

    While next door the river flows down between the trees towards the sea, you can enjoy your vespers here in peace.
