SPRINGER CREEK TRAILS

On the southeast outskirts of Slocan City, Springer Creek Campground gives access to a nice waterfall and a network of easy trails.  

Distance, round trip: 2km
Elevation: +50m
Time: 45 minutes circuit
Season: all
Difficulty: Easy

Drive: Highway 6 to Slocan City. Turn onto Giffin Road, the main road into the village. Turn right immediately into Springer Creek Campground and park at the day use area.

Trail: Look at the campground trail map to orient you. From the Lower Campground outhouse, a trail heads to Springer Creek and a lovely waterfall with a bridge over it. A network of used and unused trails extends from the end of the bridge. A trail to the left leads into Slocan City at Arlington Avenue. To the right is bounded by Highway 6 and the creek.

I would like to think of myself as a full time traveler. I have been retired since 2006 and in that time have traveled every winter for four to seven months. The months that I am "home", are often also spent on the road, hiking or kayaking. I hope to present a website that describes my travel along with my hiking and sea kayaking experiences.
