This small provincial park is just off the bottom of the Big Hill on its climb up from Little Fort.   There is parking on the east side of the creek below the bridge, though the track provided here is on the other side following the fibre optic line to the edge of the creek.   When the creek is low in water, it is easy to cross.   In the spring, walk up the highway to the uphill side.

The north side of the creek has a narrow track with some windfall to cross.   Several small scrambles are also required to go deep into the canyon where the creek runs through a natural arch.

Just above that is the 8m Eakin Creek Falls.

There were some artifacts there, left over some previous sluicebox activity.
