Route Description for Old Growth Recreation Trail
Hiking along the Old Growth Recreation Trail is a fun, educational, and scenic experience that will allow you to reach out and hug some mammoth old-growth cedar trees that are hundreds of years old. The trail sets out from the side of the road and enters into the forest on a route towards the southeast. Take your time strolling through the relaxing forest setting, while absorbing the interesting facts on offer from the interpretive signs along the trail. As you continue through the forest, the trail will run parallel to the flowing waters of Kokanee Creek before turning to the east to meet back up with the main road. Once you have reached the road, head back along the trail to experience the picturesque forest from a different perspective before eventually making your way back to the trailhead.
