Vancouver Island Stamp Falls Provincial Park

Stamp Falls Provincial Park sprawls out over 327 hectares of forests, rivers and waterfalls. A serene and peaceful Provincial Park destination ideal for exploring natures Salmon life cycles at work. Stamp Falls Provincial Park is cut with 2 kilometres of hiking trails leading you around the rumbling river, the fast running currents, fish ladders and the crashing waterfalls.

The area of Stamp Falls is a popular observation point to observe the annual runs of the Pacific Salmon as they migrate during the spawning season. The salmon meet at the foot of Stamp Falls before they embark on the journey up the fish ladders to their spawning beds to start the Salmon life cycle all over again. Starting in late August millions of Sockeye Salmon make their spawning runs up the Stamp River. A spawning process the Coho and Chinook Salmon enjoy until early December.

The gathering of large numbers of Salmon always attracts Black Bears to the area because it is easy pickings for food before the Black Bears hibernation ritual begins. Always be aware of the wildlife in the area. Dogs must be kept on leash.

There is a parking lot onsite, camping facility, picnic area, drinking water and pit bathrooms with no showers. There is no sani-station, electrical hook ups, boat launch or swimming in the area.
