About Beaver Creek

Beaver Creek is the Alberni Valley’s largest and most diverse rural neighbourhood. It is framed to the west by the stunning Somass and Stamp Rivers. These rivers offer those lucky enough to ply them, some of the best fresh water steelhead and salmon fishing in the world.

Locals and tourists alike know the Stamp River for another reason – white water rafting. Well actually you’re more likely to see groups of people laughing their way down the river on inner tubes than on rafts, which is a testament to the areas industrial heritage.  If you do decide to go for a tube ride, make sure you know the river first because there are dangers. 

To the east, Beaver Creek is framed by the majestic Beaufort Mountain Range. Running along the foot of these mountains is the iconic 22km long Log Train Trial. The Log Train Trail passes right by McLean Mill Historical Site, a former 20th century sawmill and logging operation, located on 13 hectares of forested land. Further up the long road you will find Stamp Falls Provincial Park, a world-renowned nature reserve that is a must visit destination for anyone visiting the Alberni Valley.

Things To Do in Beaver Creek

Beaufort Range and Log Train Trail

Beaver Creek runs along the base of the breathtaking Beaufort Range. The highest peak of the Range is Mount Joan, standing a dominating 5105ft above sea level. Meandering through Beaver Creek is the historic 22km long Log Train Trail. The Log Train Trail began as part of the Bainbridge Mill rail logging operation, being abandoned when the mill closed in 1927. The Port Alberni Equine Society have been pivotal in the Trail’s revitalization and maintenance. The Trail is a multiuse pathway that is utilized by Alberni Valley hikers, horse riders, fur & human parents and cyclists alike. 

McLean Mill 

McLean Mill Historic Park is a world famous destination that has recently opened a multiuse campground, provides a stunning wedding venue, has daily tours and is a throw back to a bygone era at the turn of the 20th century. There are original buildings still standing that have been frozen in time with authentic décor to send your imagination soaring. Creating a genuinely unique experience at certain times of the year, you can board the steam train from the historic train station in the heart of Port Alberni, over some towering and historic train trussells, all the way to the Mill. If you are lucky, or perhaps unlucky, you may even be held up by the notorious horse mounted thieves, the Beaufort Gang, so don’t travel any precious gems unless you want them stolen by the infamous train robbers. 

Stamp Falls Provincial Park

Beaver Creek’s most popular attraction is without doubt Stamp Falls Provincial Park. Stamp Falls Provincial Park is home to a river side campground and what is arguably the most beautiful old growth hike in the Alberni Valley - the Stamp Long River Trail. But the focal point of the park is the mighty Stamp Falls themselves. If you visit in the early autumn you will witness one of this earths greatest wonders as thousands of Pacific salmon jump the falls, or use the nearby fish ladder, to return home to spawn. Along the Somass River in the Beaver Creek area you will find Paper Mill Dam which provides a beautiful river front beach and a great park for picnics. Here the adventurous can even snorkel with the massive Chinook Salmon.
