]]> Nymph Falls Nature Park is a 61 hectare park on on the upper Puntledge River. Many kilometers of trails of all levels run up and down the park. Some trails are foot traffic only but some are multi-use. Sections of the river are great for fishing, swimming, and kayaking but mind the steep sections and slippery areas. The area is amazing for beautiful views and photos.

The BC Hydro dam is just upstream at the outlet of Comox Lake. There is a siren at the park that will sound when more water is being let out the dam warning the water will rise quickly. Signs around the park say to get back from the water quickly if the sirens sound.

Where is Nymph Fall Nature Park?

The parking lot for the park is at 4481 Forbidden Plateau Road. The gravel parking lot holds about 20 vehicles but there is a wide shoulder on the road that offers a bit more parking area. It can get very busy in the summer.

What is the hiking like?

The park has a variety of trails in it from the main trails to the falls being smooth, wide, easy trail for all abilities. Other trails in the park range from easy to medium as they get narrower, include roots, and have steep sections down the river. Many difficulties and distances of hikes can be made with all the different trails.

]]> It was Bryn’s Birthday. We had to go hiking. He hadn’t seen the Elk River Trail yet and I was more than happy to tag along. I had reservations about the wasps that typically monitor the trail but there should only be one or two nests. After my first run-in with them, I wasn’t totally stoked on going back but we were going to check out Iceberg Lake past Landslide Lake that I hadn’t seen before.  Just get past the wasps and it will be a treat after that. We almost did.
