A decent sized gravel parking area off Koksilah Road. The Koksilah Ancient Forest Trailhead begins near the 8 km mark on Koksilah Road, where a gated logging road branches off and is blocked by rocks marked with pink tape. Most hikers park here and walk uphill about 10 minutes to reach the start of the forest trail, marked with blue flagging tape on the right.
