It's a worthwhile stop if you're in the area. Impressive waterfall and great viewing from the sturdy bridge and platforms. Would not recommend it as dog friendly as very tough on their paws.

Probably one of the best hiking trails I have ever walked! Amazing scenery! Very well groomed paths! Incredible views with the suspension bride overlooking the gorge and falls! Walkable with a baby stroller!

Before you start there is a museum and a friendly curator who is eager to share his knowledge of the area and the work that's being done there. Nice little hike to the falls. You pass through an area that looks and smells like a rainforest! The falls and surrounding area are amazing! It's a must see!

Very well maintained trails and beautiful view of the waterfall. Plenty of parking. Busy but not crowded. Well marked trails. Suspension bridge was cool and gave a great view of the falls. Highly recommend the hike. Relatively flat with a few up/downs. Beautiful and huge trees that are very cool to see!

Absolutely amazing! The waterfall itself is so beautiful and then the added suspension bridge let's you view it from above and different angles and the thrill of being so high up above the canyon. The path is well maintained. You can't use a stroller only because there are a lot of stairs leading down to the lookout and suspension bridge.

Catch me outside driving,hiking, walking, even at this Water fall. This beautiful fall is very special ❤️ With a suspension bridge and multiple Lookouts and beautiful nature, with easy walking trails. Big Tree's 🌲🌲🌲 alongside. Very beautiful Park 🏞️ nice drive up the VI Another adventure! Off to the Next. Hope you enjoy the videos and photos.

Wow, I can't believe it's my first time visiting this gorgeous waterfall in CR! I'm absolutely in love with it ❤️. The mesmerizing sound of water falling and the lush green surroundings have left me in awe.

An outstanding collection, beautifully curated and not to be missed on any trip to north Vancouver Island. The First Nations exhibit is particularly striking and ranks along with much larger museums elsewhere. The logging and fishing exhibits bring to life not only the industries but the life and times of the workers. Top class and highly recommended!

Great for it's prize! It is easy to find if you see the Museum sign on the side of the roads. The parking is big enough and there is a parking overflow if needed. The entrance is lovely. A few big pieces outside including a boat. The small giftshop is right at the entrance and has some fun items. The entrance lady was very friendly and gave us a good describtion on what to expect, to do and where you weren't allowed to take pictures. The museum itself is not that big, but has different items to show and tells a good story through out the timeline of the region. I got to learn new things. I especially liked the small movie about explosions, you should see that one yourself.

The museum September 6 today $10.00 for an adult. Its a nice museum good first nations ,fishing and logging area

Great exhibits about the first nations history and the salmon industry.

They built this place hoping the cruise ships would dock here, alas those guys never got the memo, there were 8 people visiting in the 2 hours I was here. Interesting collection of native American artifacts, and a selection of films to watch in a small theatre. If you are interested in learning about the history of the area this is a must see. I had no idea they used massive explosives to blast an island to clear a navigation choke point. Watch the ripple rock video, it's a BLAST, literally. Sad to know Canadians used .50 Calibre Browning Machine Guns to kill orca "whales" (dolphins really) once upon a time. Equally sad is how racial minorities were treated here in the early 20th and 19th century. The "iron chink" exhibit and the WW2 Japanese internment exhibit shows stark contrast with today's vibrant multiracial population of BC. How wealthy would First Nations tribes be if they owned the leases to all the buildings in Vancouver. Great exhibit on how they "lost it all".

One of the best museums for local history and artifacts. I found the indigenous displays interesting. I learned much. Definitely a must see and $8 is an amazing price.

Easy to access the suspension bridge from the free car park about a 10 minute walk. The bridge is not too long and doesn't wobble much and leads to a good viewing platform. The views of the falls are good although there is a better view you can walk to about 20 minutes away

I thought this place was stunning. It's a short enough hike to get your heart pumping but not long enough to exhaust you. There are stairs but not overwhelming. The bridge feels secure. The high fencing feels secure too. Well kept. I didn't see any garbage anyway. The pathways were clear and not mucky even tho we went on a fairly wet day.

Loved the view from the bridge. It is worth a visit. A few key things to note: there are metal stairs, the bridge is steep at the ends, and there is a bit of a walk to get to the falls. It's not wheelchair friendly when at the bridge. You could probably get to one view of the falls ok with a wheelchair but not the bridge. There was some interesting information along the walk. The bathrooms are at the beginning in the parking lot.

Absolutely stunning! 🌲 The Elk Falls Suspension Bridge is a must-see. The views of the waterfall are breathtaking, the forest is peaceful, and the bridge itself is an adventure. Well-maintained trails make it easy for all ages. Don’t forget your camera—this place is pure BC magic!

What a spectacular attraction! The falls are amazing! The view from the suspension bridge will take your breath away. There are a number of excellent viewing areas and picture spots. The parking is plentiful, the trail is easy. There are stairs so people with disabilities may find a couple of sections challenging. If they're traveling with a buddy they should be ok. Because of the nature of the gorge surrounding the falls it's impossible to get to where the falls reach the river below. Overall amazing! Recommend!

We visited in September and although there were quite a few cars in the car park, you could still go on the bridge one at a time, without queuing. The falls were lovely even with fairly low river levels. Well worth hiking the surrounding trails amongst the old growth forest and river. All well marked and easy to walk. And it's completely free to enter!

Beautiful spot with stunning views of the waterfall and forest! The walk is easy, trails are well-kept, and the bridge view is breathtaking. A must-visit if you’re in Campbell River! 🌲🌉

Spotted many bears catching fish and relaxing over the course of two days here. A very unique and spectacular experience.

The hatchery was closed (after 3.30pm) so whilst i cannot comment on the hatchery the surrounding had trails along the river, shared by the bears 🐻! Caution required. We watched several bears feasting on salmon in late September, the fattening up season. Also eagles and kingfishers in the area. Spectacular.

No bear at the Hatchery. We took the river walk and spotted a black beer in the river 15 min walk from the Hatchory back towards the first bridge you passed from the main road.

As a tourist it was interesting to see so many salmon in one place despite being unsure of what was actually occurring in the hatchery at the time. We ventured for a walk upriver and found there were a couple of black bears taking advantage of the man made structures congregating the salmon, to provide a meal.

Informative centre, enjoyed a walk out back down the river, then were surprised when a black bear came darting down to the creek to grab some dammed up salmon - a smorgasbord for the bear.

Great walk through the facilitates its a working Hatchery clear area for visitors. Seeing the fish channel through is a terrific insight. BE Bear Aware . Plus it wasn't raining!

It was amazing to see the travel of the salmons and of course we could watch how 3 bears catch the salmon …. Amazing !!!

Great place to receive exhaustive information about Campbell River area and much more. Nice staff plenty of materials to take on the road.

This is a cute boardwalk that takes a little bit of time to walk through the entire thing, great to show your guests that are visiting the city.

The gals manning the visitor center were super friendly and were able to provide spot on directions for the off-the-beaten-path location we were seeking. Nice shop with t-shirts and other souvenirs from the area. Worth the stop. Didn't get the chance to peek in the at gallery across the way, but it would probably be worth checking out as well.

We could not leave Campbell River without praising the visitor's centre and particularly Jeanette. Thank you so much Jeanette for your recommendations of what to see and where to eat, we have enjoyed everything you suggested. If you are visiting here, I would strongly suggest you go to the visitor's centre when you first arrive Frank and Jeanie Baker, Newcastle, England.

We were looking for a campground in Campbell River the night before Canada Day, and weren’t having any luck ourselves. The ladies of the visitor center went above and beyond to help us. They contacted multiple campgrounds to see if they could accommodate us, and didn’t stop until they found one. We are enormously thankful for their help.

Great location

Super friendly staff. We got all the information we were looking for and more. They took all the time we needed. Would definitely recommend to visit when you’re in Campbell River area for a holiday.

Pleasantly surprised to find this small gem in Campbell River. The museum houses an entire salmon fishing boat known as the BCP 45 which appeared on the Canada 5 dollar bill. If you like boats and salmon fishing this is the place for you. I also learned to write my name in flag semaphore.

Have been here for a wedding and I've done a presentation for work here. Nice viewing windows, and the boat inside is awesome . Washrooms are clean, and you supply everything. Just a hall rental or boardroom , you supply everything to drink or eat ?

Ask for the guide to show you round. We had a really interesting tour and heard the back story of the BCP45 fishing boat which was the main exhibit. Lots of historical exhibits and books explaining what each is. You could spend hours here.

My grandchildren and I had a wonderful tour of the BCP45 from Richard. Beautifully restored, and a great experience for the kids.

Fascinating place! We were lucky to get an excellent tour from Bill.

This was fascinating, really interesting and informative guide. Well worth a visit.

Some interesting displays of maritime life around Campbell River. The highlight is the display of a restored fishing boat, the B.C.P 45. We had a very informative guide show us the boat and answer a ton of questions.
