Nymph Falls
Nymph Falls Nature Park is a small area located West of Courtenay along Forbidden Plateau Road with many trails to navigate for a complete circle route, or a short 600 meter walk from parking lot to river. When nearing the river, the water can be heard flowing through and crashing down over rocks before making the final turn on the trail and seeing the water cascading over neatly carved channels and flowing across smooth rock faces. The lower trail comes out to a perfect swimming hole, full of potholes, small underwater caves and little waterfalls to shower beneath if the water isn't too cold. Exploring about the river brings neat views and interesting caverns carved out by the water over the years, in some cases multiple potholes connecting beneath the water forming somewhat of a labyrinth under the smooth rock. After basking in the sun, the smooth rock even seems to make for a good waterslide for the brave to test the waters.
