The connected Canyon, Pine and Woodland trails, on the west side of Highway 3A opposite the Sandspit campground entrance, are the most popular: Canyon Trail follows Kokanee Creek through mature cedar and hemlock to a stairway and terraced viewing platform over a narrow canyon, while Pine and Woodland pass through yellow pine and birch forest. A walking bridge across the creek links the network to Redfish campground.
