Hidden Grove Trail is
a trail with great plans in mind. Today it is widely used by bikers
and hikers. Bikers for the jumps and drops. The walkers for the
scenery and smells.
The Sunshine Coast trail leads through old growth forests, a
marsh wetland and leads to the headwaters of Davis Creek. The Hidden Grove Trail section is just a small part
of the bigger picture. The region is actually divided into four
park sections.
The northern section is slated for mountain bikers with future
designs for more mountain bike trails and a proposed technical
training area with a parking lot. The trails would be used by
both hikers and bikers.
The entrance section is located by the large hidden grove sign
on the Sechelt Inlet Road leading toward Tuwanek.
The short dirt road leads to a small parking lot and the beginning
of the hiking trail. The area is a sensitive eco system so this
portion is mainly for hikers, not mountain bikers.
The Hidden Grove section is adjacent to the
entrance section. The Hidden Grove section is made up a trail
exploring a grove of old growth forests, leading up to the viewpoint
and the spur to the “Lonely Giant”. A massive tree
on its own.
The southern section leads to the Sechelt Heritage Forest.
Access to Hidden Grove Trail: Follow Hwy 101
in Sechelt to the traffic light at Wharf Street and take a right. A couple
blocks down take another right on to Porpoise Bay Road which turns
into Sechelt Inlet Road. Continue for 4 km (2.5 mi.) and follow
the signs to the Porpoise
Bay Park. Continue driving past the park for 4 km and on your
right you will see the Hidden Grove sign.
