China Creek Trailhead sits at a pull-off along Bamfield Main, identifiable by a yellow gate and a small trail sign that can be easy to miss if you’re not watching for it. Parking is limited, and there are no facilities available, so be sure to come prepared. Access is free, but the trailhead is on an active logging road, so it’s best to go on weekends when operations are paused. As you set off from the trailhead, the path quickly immerses you in a lush coastal forest, following China Creek upstream toward the falls.
