Falls & Flat Whites: Nile Creek + French Press Coffee Roasters

​Coffee in Qualicum, then a magical waterfall trail through the old growth.

​About the Trail 🌲🗻

​Nile Creek Trail is a magical route. This trail runs through the woods, and you'll see lots of old-growth and greenery.

​There are multiple waterfalls — a couple you can easily get down to, and a couple you can just view from the trail. Enjoy ample canopy cover and views of the creek, with a series of spectacular waterfalls near the west end of the inland highway.

​Heads up: in wetter seasons, this can be quite a muddy trail, so be mindful of your footwear. The trailhead is a bit tricky to find — turn onto Charlton Drive and go to the end of the residential street, then park on the other side of the rocks before the private gate.
