About Nymph Falls Nature Park

Water flows over exposed bedrock along the Puntledge River, creating the series of drops that give Nymph Falls Nature Park its name. The regional district maintains this 61-hectare protected area, where second-growth Douglas fir and western red cedar provide heavy canopy cover.

A wide main trail follows the riverbank, offering clear sightlines of the water. During the autumn months, salmon navigate upstream to their spawning grounds using a blasted rock fish ladder built alongside the rapids.

The property is located a short drive south of Campbell River, drawing regular foot traffic from dawn until late evening. Multiple secondary paths branch off into the woods, connecting to a broader network of regional routes.
