Backpacking
Recreation areas with activity Backpacking:
The Tahkenitch Area trails offer some of the best sand dunes backpacking.
Tahkenitch Creek Trail provides a little bit of everything the Dunes has to offer; forest, sand dunes, rivers and possible loop opportunites. Tahkenitch Dunes Trail crosses a forested ridgeline and enters an expanse of large dunes before hitting the beach.
The two trails can be connected for a longer hiking experience.
Along the beach the trail passes by nesting areas for the threatened shorebird, the snowy plover. Follow posted regulations and call ahead to find out about restrictions.
