Benson Creek Falls Trail

Route Description for Benson Creek Falls Trail

Hiking the Benson Creek Falls Trail is a great way to get out and explore the breathtaking forest terrain that can be found just outside of Nanaimo, BC. Setting out from the trailhead, follow the path to the south as it enters into the dense cover of the West Coast temperate rainforest environment. The initial part of this trail is a pleasant stroll to the forest, until you arrive at the edge of the creek, where you will need to descend some rocky terrain to access the falls. Carefully make your way downhill and utilize the ropes to guide you along the rock until you arrive at the bottom. From there, you will be able to explore the area around the creek bed and get up close and personal with the cascading water of the falls. After taking in the views, make your way back up to the main trail and follow it back to the parking area where you began your journey.
