A great 1-2 hour hike with an amazing swimming hole at the falls. Be sure to stop at Errington Farmer’s Market on Saturdays. Well worth a stop! The fresh cinnamon buns will be most welcome for your after swim snack!

About a 25 min drive, and so worth it! It might be the most toured forest in all of BC with it's massive old growth redwood trees. They are oh so impressive and the platform path is very well maintained.
