| Location: 15 minutes Northwest of Port Alberni on Beaver Creek Road off Highway 4. The drive from the turn off is about 15 minutes. Description: The most unique feature of Stamp River Provincial Park is Stamp Falls, an impressive cataract that enters a canyon full of deep pools.
The old growth that surrounds the falls and the canyon take you away to a glimpse of Vancouver Island as it was at the time of first contact with the local First Nations. October is the best time to visit to see the spectacle of nearly half a million salmon lining up in the pool below the fish ladder. This ladder allows them to ascend to the spawning gravel up-stream and to Robertson Creek Fish Hatchery where some fish are taken to enhance the fishery stocks in the river. A hiking trail follows the top of the canyon. It is fenced to prevent an accident fall into the water below.
There is also a a 23 site campground, picnic tables for day-use, and pit toilets. The hiking trail extends along the top of the canyon and also loops back along a ridge to the entrance road to the park, making a 2 km loop. Nearby Services: |
