Nice small park with sculptured sandstone features ... the trail is easily managed by seniors, although can be a bit muddy in spots in the spring. The view is great ... peaceful and serene.

I recommend starting at the Dogwood Rd access point and traveling up the western side trail first so you have an easier return trip on the eastern side. Western side is pure hiking trail with birds, trees, slugs, and some very good view points for rapids and falls. The eastern side after the northern bridge turn around point is a wide gravel path for most of the section then drops back into bush trail (well looked after) near Dogwood Rd. The best view of Crystal falls would require leaving the established trail on the western side (did not do this) since the eastern trail view is blocked by may trees. The two dams can be seen easily from both trails.

Docked here for the night and the folks were extremely friendly. The dock is very clean with flower boxes and many bird houses at each docking area. The blue matins nesting there were beautiful. A little cafe is there serving breakfast and lunch. Showers are clean. The little museum is really nice and they have a captains quarters which shows the size of the bed. Way to small for me and I am 5’7”. Highly recommend.

An extremely calm, serene and natural area with several trails leading down to Stocking Creek Falls. Two different ways to access the falls. BEWARE: the signs to the entrance locations are not all that visible. They are on blue, narrow road signs as you travel from the Saltair to Chemainus Road or vice-versa. Parts of the trails parallel the Cowichan Valley Trail. There are several directional signs along the trails. Enjoy!!! Falls best when weather at it's worst.
