The name Poo Poo Point sounds silly, but once you hear how the trail got its name, it makes sense.
Trisha Johnston / allltrails.com About a century ago, when the logging industry was more prominent in the area, and the loggers used whistles to communicate from the logging tower operator to the workers down the hill. So the trail is named after the sounds the whistles mad.
The trail is family friendly and easy to navigate, but it’s not a short journey.

You’ll see a lot of paragliders here. But even if that’s a bit too adventurous for you, you should stop and have a picnic at the top so you can fully enjoy the views.
