Campbell River Canyon View Trail

Route Description for Campbell River Canyon View Trail

Hiking the Campbell River Canyon View Trail is a great way to explore some of the breathtaking terrain that can be found on Vancouver Island with the opportunity to spot some amazing wildlife along the edge of the rushing river. As mentioned above, completing this hike in the autumn will allow you the chance to safely view a pre-hibernation feeding frenzy as bears make their way to the river to feast on the plentiful salmon that can be found there. For this reason, it is also a popular area for fishermen looking to capitalize on the same opportunity.

Setting out from the trailhead, make your way east along the edge of the Campbell River and cross over to the eastern side. On this portion of the hike, you will make your way through an amazing stretch of forest with some breathtaking views of the river rushing below the canyon. Reaching the edge of the river on the western part of the trail, you will cross over a swaying suspension bridge that spans the river before making your way along the west back to return to the trailhead where you began.
