Trip report by BestHike editor Rick McCharles.
The #1 day hike on AllTrails out of Campbell River is Elk Falls via Millenium Trail.
- up to 7.2 km return
- up to 262m elevation gain
- family friendly
- excellent trail maintenance
Elk Falls are spectacular. But be warned there’s a lot of construction nearby in 2025 and for years to come.
The suspension bridge has great views down into the canyon.
Old growth forest is always a joy to walk.
About 200,000 visit each year. Free parking in a Provincial Park.
Trail maintenance is excellent.
Surprisingly, you can legally walk right to the edge of the falls.
