Elk Falls, Campbell River, Vancouver Island

Trip report by BestHike editor Rick McCharles.

The 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.
