Joshua’s guidebook
Sightseeing
It’s a short twenty-minute hike each way and features a waterfall and really cool hole in the side of a ridge. We recommend parking in the pullout across from Coombs Candy and then cross the highway to walk down the trail. Make sure you cross the highway very carefully — there have been accidents here!

Stamp Falls Trail is located towards the end of Beaver Creek Road at Stamp River Provincial Park. It’s a short trail with majestic scenery and additional trails nearby. Most of the year you can see various species of Salmon making their way up the river and once in a while an eagle will soar in for a catch. Some enjoy watching fish come up the fish ladder at the viewing station, while others relax by the river to watch the bears.
