Picnic areas
There is a viewpoint and parking area for day-use activities, but no developed picnic area. The view is a spectacular display of colour illustrating the park’s rich geology in the Chasm Creek Valley and part of the Bonaparte River Valley. Successive lava flows form layers in varying tones of red, brown, yellow and purple, which have been revealed in the steep lava-layered canyon walls through erosion over the past 10 million years.

Hiking

This park has informal hiking trails (generally following old roads, there are no signs to mark the routes). An old road, which leads along the southern edge of the chasm, offers occasional spectacular views and a very pleasant experience of dry pine and fir forest. There are steep cliffs at this park. Watch children closely. Fences are provided only near the parking area and lookout. Hike at your own risk.
