Trail Lineup

1️⃣ Deception Falls – 1.9 km (return)
This trail leads through dense forest on a steady uphill climb to one of the park’s lesser-known gems. The trail is narrow and unmaintained, but the reward is a dramatic, multi-tiered waterfall cascading through mossy cliffs and misty air.
🧭 Small 3-car pullout at the trailhead

2️⃣ Canim + Mahood Falls – 2.3 km (loop)
A pleasant forested trail that winds through towering cedar and fir to two incredible waterfalls. Canim roars wide and powerful, while Mahood plunges in a beautiful narrow chute.
🌿 Mostly shaded, smooth trail — great for photo breaks and relaxing.
