Cliff Gilker Park Trail Description
Hiking the Cliff Gilker Park Loop is the perfect family-friendly adventure in the Sechelt area, due to the easy nature of the terrain and the amazingly scenic rainforest setting. The trail sets out from the side of the road and cuts through the forest to the east to meet up with the main path. Follow this to the right to begin a loop that will take you through the dense forest of the park. Shortly after beginning your journey, you will cross over the flowing waters of Clack Creek before turning more to the north on a route running parallel to Roberts Creek. Reaching the northernmost part of the trail, your direction will turn to the southwest as you cross over a beautiful bridge spanning Clack Creek. From here, continue south along the creek, crossing over it two more times and passing by a cascading waterfall before returning to the trailhead where you began your hike.
