Goldstream Falls and Arbutus Loop

​This 4.5 km loop begins at Goldstream Campground and follows well-marked trails through lush West Coast forest to the stunning Goldstream Falls.

​The route is easy to follow, with plenty of signage along the way, making it a great hike for anyone looking to enjoy nature without tackling major elevation gain.

​We'll spend some time at the falls taking in the scenery, snapping a few photos, and enjoying the peaceful sounds of the water before continuing along the loop.

​The trail also passes through the campground and visits the scenic Arbutus Loop before returning to the trailhead.

​While this hike is relatively short, sections of the trail can be rugged, muddy, and uneven, with fallen branches and roots to navigate.

​This is a great social hike and a perfect opportunity to enjoy some fresh air, beautiful forest scenery, and a spectacular waterfall with fellow hikers.
