A mostly wheelchair accessible path through a grove of large cedars growing in a wet area of Succour Creek.

Trailhead
The trail starts behind two posts standing upright, between the outhouse and the picnic table.

Trail
The trail follows a hardened footpath in a loop through the large trees. There are a few branches, but they all come back to the main trail. There is a viewing platform at one spot, suitable for group lectures. (Just in case you need to lecture your group.) [read more]

There are two bridges on the trail, which are not wheelchair accessible. In fact, one of the bridges has a metre high step at one end, which is very slippery.

A determined hiker could probably do the whole trail in four minutes, but that’s not really the purpose of this site. It is lovely, tranquil and has the biggest cedars you’ll see this side of the coast.

Cautions

Watch out for the step on the end of the one bridge. It’s a doozy.

From the junction of Highway 1 and Highway 95, drive 24.0 km west on the Trans Canada Highway to the turnoff for Donald Road. (If you cross the Columbia River bridge, you have gone too far.) Turn right on Donald Road and drive 0.7 km on the paved section, to where a large yellow crane sits. Continue onto the gravel section of road, and in 200 metres you will see the yellow “O km” sign for the Bush River FSR. Set you odometer to zero here.

Drive 33.8 km on the B Road (or Bush River FSR). You will see a road turning off the main road on the left. Turn in and park in the wide area on the right, where a sign still welcomes you to the Giant Cedars Interpretive Site.
