Nymph Falls Nature Park is a gem of spot for walking, biking
and especially swimming in the summer.
It is located just out of Courtenay on the Forbidden Plateau Road and a short
500 meter trail takes you from the parking lot to scenic Nymph Falls. Here
there are exposed flattish rocks which are popular places to layout a towel and
lots of pools carved out of the rock to swim in. We usually get there a couple
of times a summer but this year we hadn’t been for a dip so when the
temperatures on Friday, September 11 were close to 25 C we decided to head
there for a swim. Many other people had the same idea and when we got there we
got the last parking spot in the large parking area. The water was certainly
refreshing and we brought a swim mask and snorkel to see if there were any fish
in the water. We saw some very small fish but nothing like the large
numbers of big salmon we had seen earlier at Puntledge Park. If we get another warm day you might want to
check this place out for a dip since it is so scenic.
