How To Reach Stotan Falls
To reach Stotan falls, make way to lake trail road, located in West Courtenay, then turn right and head towards Comox Logging Road. From here, stay on the deforestation road, and take the right to reach the industrial area.
Further, you can take a short drive as you will see a water pipeline which is followed by an additional bridge. Currently, the bridge is closed as is the river-way underneath; and this part of River Puntledge is called, Stotan Falls.
What To Remember
As Stotan Falls settles on a privately owned place, it costs a small fee to have its maintenance which is $5 per person and per family – $10; Carry the water shoes with you as the place is slippery; there are several river kettles or potholes, all along the river bed, so, be attentive to your footsteps.
A few of the kettles are very deep to have a jump, and there are certain sections of the river that are deep enough to jump in from way higher rocks and waterfalls. So, make sure you check the depth before diving.
Travel Tips:
- No bathrooms, no food is there, so hit this place with full preparation
- Don’t leave anything there, not even organic materials like banana peels and apple cores.
