バンクーバー島周辺のおすすめ滝ハイキング＆ウォーキング

This section of the trail has a bridge that runs directly over Holland Creek, offering a great spot to pause and watch the creek flow.

This is one of the main access points to the Holland Creek loop and has roadside parking plus a public washroom at the shelter. From here the trail drops into forest with boardwalks, bridges, and benches along the way. If you want a shorter hike, you can easily do an out-and-back to Crystal Falls from here instead of the full loop.

This River runs parallel to the Upper Goldstream Trail for its duration. At this point you are close to the river with a clear view. A bit further along, you will reach Goldstream Falls at the end of the trail.

This trailhead sits on the east end of the Goldstream Provincial Park campground and leads to the Upper Goldstream Trail. From here, the route follows the Goldstream River through old-growth cedar and fir, reaching a seasonal waterfall and small pool at the end of the trail. The trailhead has parking nearby and easy access from the campground road.

Heart Lake is a secluded lake nestled in a surrounding forest setting. There's a large rock outcrop along the banks that makes for a great spot to rest and take in the views.

Crystal Falls is a beautiful waterfall that flows out of Holland Creek. Winter is the best time to catch the falls at peak flow.

The Heart Lake Trail climbs through forested terrain along Holland Creek to the banks of Heart Lake. There are plenty of spots to take in some incredible views of the lake along the trail, as well as a few spots to cool off with a dip.

China Creek Trailhead sits at a pull-off along Bamfield Main, identifiable by a yellow gate and a small trail sign that can be easy to miss if you’re not watching for it. Parking is limited, and there are no facilities available, so be sure to come prepared. Access is free, but the trailhead is on an active logging road, so it’s best to go on weekends when operations are paused. As you set off from the trailhead, the path quickly immerses you in a lush coastal forest, following China Creek upstream toward the falls.
