Englishman River Falls above Qualicum Beach
Englishman River Falls Park is a beautiful place for a hike. The deep and silent forest hems in the walker who seeks to enjoy a wide and easy trail. The spectacular upper falls is partly obscured from view, even at the lookout point, but the intrepid can venture out onto the bridge above. Being less intrepid, I enjoyed the lower falls walk more, with its varied views of the river and the ancient and mysterious trees. The sign suggests the presence of cougars. Fortunately, I saw none of those shy wildcats.
