While you can enjoy the Loop in both directions, the FROG signs guide you to our Forest, River, Ocean, and Greenways in a counterclockwise direction at this time.  There are many access points (including the bottom of ERT, multiple places along the Seawalk, and the corner of Jubilee and Dogwood) but we recommend starting the Loop at the Discovery Pier, “Kilometre 0”.  Head north toward the city centre and follow the scenic path along the water, meandering behind the restaurants and buildings and past the Quadra Island Ferry Terminal as you make your way to the Tyee Spit.  With the ocean on one side and the Campbell River estuary on the other, this beautiful piece of land is the perfect place to birdwatch, let the kids play at the playground, and/or relax on the beach. As you continue, you’ll head past Home Depot to Campbellton and connect on the ERT, a designated trail that will eventually lead you to the Beaver Lodge Lands, a forest in the middle of our city.  When you emerge from Beaver Lodge Lands, relaxed and refreshed, you’ll connect onto the paved path paralleling Dogwood, making your way to the Jubilee Connector, a 2 km trail beside the Jubilee Parkway. Follow the signs through Little America and Maryland, enjoying the residential vibe, before connecting the Rotary Seawalk at the bottom of Maryland.  The Seawalk, a paved path along the ocean, takes you through Willow Point, around the roundabout, past our famous Big Rock, and in front of the museum as you make your way back to the Discovery Pier.  

The Loop’s vision, design, construction, and maintenance include time, money, and resources from countless volunteers and organizations.  Its completion in 2020 symbolizes an abundance of our community connections.  Almost every Campbell River resident lives within 5 km of The Loop!
