Puntledge River Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Puntledge River Trail is a fantastic way to explore the banks of the Puntledge River and Bevan City ruins. This area has bears, so be bear aware, and don't leave food in parked cars. The trail itself is really flat and well-maintained and passes through tall second growth forests with wonderful river viewpoints and a few swimming holes along the way.

Puntledge River

Highlight • River

The Puntledge River flows 48 kilometres from Comox Lake until reaching the Strait of Georgia. This river is teeming with life, with massive salmon runs as well as great swimming, tubing and hiking opportunities. Be careful when taking a dip as many areas have strong currents, so choose designated swimming holes in calm parts of the river.

2.13 km

Bevan Townsite Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

Here, and scattered through Puntledge Forest, are ruins of old coal industrial infrastructure. What remains of this once busy industry are intakes, flumes, penstocks, cement foundations, scattered bricks, and remnants of chimneys from the original 20th-century coal mining settlement. Be careful while exploring for unstable structures, glass and more.
