Route Description for Blackwater Creek Trail
Hiking along the Blackwater Creek Trail is a fantastic way to spend the day outdoors if you find yourself in the Powell River area, due to the easy-to-navigate terrain and spectacular scenery. The trail sets out from the side of the road and immediately enters into the forest, where you will feel a sudden wave of relaxation wash over you. As you hike past the moss-covered trees, you will cross over small streams that run along the forest floor and eventually arrive at the cascading water of Kelly Falls. Continue along the trail and turn left at the junction to work your way around the eastern side of the loop. Head left again to chart a course back through the forest to return to the trailhead where you began.
