A trail that begins near Steamboat Bay follows Celesta Creek upstream approximately 1.5 km, then crosses the creek and returns to the lake. Noted for a series of beautiful waterfalls and some interesting features from early logging days. Bears are frequent visitors in this site.
As many trail follow raging waters in this park, it is worth noting the associated dangers as steep drops and unguarded viewing points are plentiful. Similar caution is required when entering some the waterfall pools which can exhibit powerful undertow currents during times of elevated water levels. Unfortunately, a few people have been swept away and drowned as a result of it in Albas Provincial Park.
