The Elk Falls loops run 1.5 to 19 km through forest and along the Campbell River, with the park's dramatic canyon waterfall and suspension bridge as the centrepiece and the huge Snowden trail network next door for singletrack appetites. Riverside birdwatching, ocean viewpoints, and real hills on the longer options.
