Walk the River

One of the wonderful things about Vancouver Island is that every season offers a different nature show. The Fall happens to be a great time to walk along local rivers. With the beauty of the changing leaves on the trees along the banks of the rivers, the salmon returning to spawn and the extra water brought by seasonal rain, rivers are the perfect place to be in the fall.

There is a great selection of rivers with walking trails close to most of the towns and cities on Vancouver Island. Many of them are within minutes of town and are easy to drive to. Some walks are just meandering strolls while others can be quite the hike.

Be aware of rising river levels in the fall, especially when walking near dams (such as on the Campbell River trails near Elk Falls). Exploring the trails in the fall is a great way to get out in nature!
