Englishman River Falls trails

Please note we are meeting in the Englishman River Falls parking. Min attendance will be 3 for this hike to take place. Guests are welcome :).

This hike will take us along the Englishman River falls trails. We will spend time on Walrus, Further, Brians worm, Perverts traverse, Machete, and Helivator trails… (I don’t make up the names🙃).

This will be a moderately challenging trail with consistently up and down areas as well as relatvely short but steep sections up. You should be a strong “B” hiker to join this hike. We wil move at a moderate pace. The uphill may be a challenge for those not used to elevation. If you have done the Notch or lantzville lookout you will be fine on this :). We will stop breifly at a beautiful spot along the river for a quick snack and rest :). We will also a stop to snack on an ubundance of berries along the trail… Most of this hike is under trees so we will likely stay dry even if raining. If you are unfamiliar with this trail please reach out to me and I will fill you in a bit more. We should take 2-3 hours. There are washrooms at start of hike.

I encourage people to always have a tracking/trail app with them. There are many that are free and work well. If you find the hike difficult this will help you get back to your vehicle…..
