This area requires respect not only for the forest but also for the First Nations people that used this area for acquiring bark and lumber from these sacred and special ‘trees of life’. Look for the distinct scars left after planks were cut and split away from the living tree. This grove also features huge cottonwood, Sitka spruce and Douglass maple.

Back on the main trail, carry on past the cottonwod grove through second growth to the rodeo grounds, hike through the cottonwood grove or loop back along the beaver pond to the road and the parking area. A variety of water flow can be seen at the pond and look for beaver gnawing signs on shoreline trees. These trails are for hiking or biking.

How to get there

Turn north onto Walker Park Road, 10.5km east of Bella Coola on Hwy 20. Drive straight on to the gravel road at 30m. Follow this road around the loop to the beaver pond then continue around to the small pullout near the end of the loop. This is the beginning of series of trails. Small signs guide you around the park.

Caution : This area is frequented by bears so be vigilant.
