Marble River Trail

With such a breathtaking forest setting, it’s hard to believe that the tall, gorgeous trees along the Marble River Trail are part of a second-growth forest that was planted to rehabilitate the area in the wake of destructive natural forces. In any case, they make the perfect backdrop for a fun day of hiking the wilderness of Vancouver Island.

Setting out from the trailhead at the campground, follow the trail north through the forest as it runs closely alongside the rushing waters of the Marble River. After a short distance, the trail will turn west with the river and cross several small streams. As you meander amongst the tall trees, you will have some nice views of the river’s edge as it cuts through the dense forests of the park. Once you have reached the end of the trail, take some time to explore the area and have a quick snack before heading back along the same route to return to the parking area.
