Davis Creek Trail begins on the north side of Davis Creek, just off Highway 31 near Davis Creek Provincial Park, roughly 28 km north of Kaslo in British Columbia's West Kootenay region.

The trailhead is accessible from the highway shoulder, just past the Davis Creek bridge. The route is rated difficult, covering 8. 8 km round trip with 700 m of elevation gain over an estimated 4–5 hours.

The first half is notably steep, climbing approximately 475 m in under 2 km via switchbacks through dense forest. Higher up, the trail eases into old-growth cedar forest and continues to Fishhook Lake.

Along the way, several scenic viewpoints offer panoramic views of Kootenay Lake, Duncan Lake, Argenta, Lardeau, and the Selkirk Mountains. The trail is generally accessible from late May through late October.
