Sightseeing
It’s a short, easy walk through the forest to the Elk Falls Suspension Bridge and cantilevered viewing platform from the parking lot in Elk Falls Provincial Park – located just 10 minutes by car west of Campbell River. The falls themselves are a magnificent sight, plunging 25 metres to reach the Campbell River and gorge. While not everyone loves the airy feeling on a shaking suspension bridge, this is the best place to view the gorge. Don’t miss your chance to stand in awe of massive Douglas fir trees while exploring a network of trails in the park on foot.

GO SALMON FISHING
Campbell River is the salmon fishing capital of the world. It’s easy to hire a fishing guide and to go out for half a day or more. Even if you don’t catch a thing (I didn’t) it’s fun to bob on the ocean looking for whales and seals while enjoying the west coast backdrop.

Museum At Campbell River
Excellent museum with many interesting historical artifacts. This was also a very educational experience from the detailing of colonialism, and the Indigenous life on Vancouver Island.
