Ammonite Falls is a small falls that you can access by parking at the end of Jameson St, hiking up a logging road then down a little trail to the right for about 20 minutes. At the end of the trail you need to go down a steep slope to get to the base of the falls. There is a picture of the rope on a slope included in the gallery. When you get down to the base of the falls you are in a nice little hide-away surrounded on two sides by cliffs, one side by the falls and then the last side is the continuation of the creek (I believe it is Benson Creek). It is a great place surrounded by nature, I could have stayed down there all day.

Here are some more pics I took that day. There is one picture of there that may seem out of place. It is a picture of this tree growing out of an old stump. It is what it is and I took a picture of it because it looked cool.

Drive - From Jingle Pot Road, turn onto Kilpatrick Road. Take the first right onto Jameson Road. Follow Jameson to the end. There is a paved sideroad to the right called Creekside which goes into a new development. Continue straight on Jameson onto the gravel. You can park a few hundred feet up the gravel, near the yellow gate.

Hike up the logging road, past the yellow gate, through the Malaspina University-College woodlot. This is obviously a tree farm. Keep going straight. At the Y junction in the road stay right - do not go left up the steep hill.

You will cross a bit of a clear cut, then an unmanaged forest, where the road narrows into a single-wide trail. About 100 feet into the forest, there is a rough looking trail that branches right off the main trail UP a small bank. On April 7, 2007, there was a small wooden sign on a tree with “Ammonite Falls” faintly but legibly written on it.

Take this trail and follow it over the hump and down the other side of the hill. After it levels out, you will see and hear Benson Creek to your left. You will continue on out of earshot of the creek, and then come to another fork in the trail, where there is a blue “No Littering” sign on a tree. Stay to the the left, past the sign. This will soon lead to a ridge above the creek and on to a firepit and an old road. Just across the road (don’t follow the old road) and to the right is a trail that will lead you in about 75 feet to the top of the falls. There are fairly secure knotted ropes to help down the last, steep, muddy slope to the base of the falls.
