Discovering the Eternal Fountain on Vancouver Island is an unforgettable experience, well worth the effort of navigating the gravel roads to get there. Nestled deep in the forest, this hidden treasure reveals an incredible underground river system with breathtaking karst formations and cenotes, like the ones of the Yucatán Peninsula!

The highlight of the visit is the Eternal Fountain, where water mysteriously vanishes back into the ground rather than flowing away. The site features informative interpretative boards that explain the fascinating geology, and there’s a scenic loop trail that takes you past several enchanting cenotes.

The road to the Eternal Fountain is entirely gravel. While a sedan can manage the journey, you'll need to drive slowly to navigate potholes and rough patches. Cell reception is very unreliable in this area, so don't depend on it for navigation, download...

After a long drive on gravel roads you get to the Eternal fountain. It’s worth the trip to see thenKarst formations and cenote formations.

It’s really a surprise to realize there’s this massive river under the forest, and the eternal fountain gives some spectacular glimpses of it!

You will be ever so surprised to see a fountain not flowing away but just disappearing again in the ground!

The interpretative information boards were great! There is a little loop that goes past two or three of the cenotes.

Some tips to help your planning: it’s all gravel road and if you have a normal sedan car you can make it, but travel is slow - 25-35km/h to avoid pot holes, rough areas etc. A truck would be faster cell reception is very spotty and you shouldn’t rely on it. give yourself plenty of time bring bug...

There’s so much to experience in Northern Vancouver Island all year round! I visited this winter to check out rushing rivers, crashing waves, flowing waterfalls, and lush evergreen temperate rainforests 🌲 Here were some of the highlights: 🌊 Storm watching and beachcombing at Grant Bay 🌲 Hiking forest trails, and admiring rushing waters and rock formations in Little Huson Caves Regional Park 💧Watching the beautiful Eternal Fountain, which is a stream resurgence waterfall, flow down into an underground cave system 🚗 Exploring the backroads with @northislandoverland 🏡 Relaxing in the cozy and comfortable @ecoscapecabins and @kwalilashotelporthardy When adventuring, remember to respect and protect natural spaces by leaving no trace and not disturbing wildlife. If you’re heading into the backroads, ensure to be prepared for the unexpected and pack accordingly. Try to support local businesses and celebrate local cultures! Have fun and be safe out there 🤩🌊🌲🌿🐚🦅! Vancouver Island North is located on the traditional territory of the Kwakwakaʼwakw people. #GoNorthIsland #experiencevancouverisland #vancouverisland #hellobc #explorebc #stormwatch #roadtrip #backroad #pacificnorthwest #cascadia #connecttonature
