About the Park
There are 2 km of walking trails at this park. A 0.5 km trail leads from the parking lot at the day-use area to the fish ladder. A lookout above the fish ladder has great views of the river and spawning salmon in the autumn. Signs at this point offer information about the fish spawning cycle. The trails continue through the forest. There is also a loop trail that overlooks the river.

With half an hour to spare before my ferry leaving Vancouver Island, I stopped off at Stamp River Provincial Park in the hopes of seeing some salmon on their annual spawning run, turned out I wasn’t the only one searching for salmon 🐻 🐻🐻

Eins meiner Lieblingsbilder ist im Stamp River Provincial Park entstanden, als wir die Bärenfamilie am Fluss beobachtet haben 🐻
Auch beim zweiten Mal wurden wir nicht enttäuscht und konnten wieder Bären, Lachse und sogar einige Weißkopfseeadler beobachten 🦅
Während die Lachse versucht haben den Wasserfall hochzuspringen (bis auf einige wenige, welche die Fischrampe benutzt haben), warteten oben die Bären auf ihr Abendessen 🍣

We found a nice little picnic bench to have a break at during our hike along Stamp River. We kept hearing a sound and after looking around for a bit we spotted this Red-breasted sapsucker on a tree close by, completely focused on its work.
Sapsuckers get their name from their habit of drilling rows of shallow wells in shrubs and trees, and then lapping up the sap.
This isn't just beneficial to them but also supports insects, mammals and other birds that use the sapwells. For Rufous Hummingbird sapwells can become an important food source before flowers start blooming in spring. They even often build their nest near them and may follow sapsuckers around to gain access to fresh sapwells.
We didn't see any Hummingbirds but we saw lots of sapsuckers during our trip. They don't seem to be overly bothered by people.
and just get on with their sapsucking duties. When we walked past the same spot about 2 hours later it was still going strong in exactly the same spot.
