Best Ecological Park in British Columbia reviews

Beautiful place, enough parking lots, I recommend 1 hour before dawn so you can enjoyed golden light for your photos.

Wonderfully laid out with clean trails and picnic tables.
Great for a stroll or hike

I like taking my daughter there but they are discouraging feeding the wildlife, which is the whole reason we go there and alot of people do, I understand a bit but it is ducks birds and squirrels it's not like we are feeding bears and cougars

Nice park for kids to play, hike and spend time by the river! Lots of rocks to throw in the river and release energy scenery views for Mount Baker and other mountains

Regional park is a beauty everywhere but residents are pretty mean. Even when you are heading to one of the trails, they stare you like you are intervening in their property on the way as if they own the park!

In the hazy distance, 120km due east on the horizon there is Mt Baker, Washington. Many of the islands (San Juan) east of this shoreline are US land too, just across the Haro Strait. Worth a quick visit or a shore walk, and just off the 17 near the...

Kanaka is one of my regular go to locations to recharge my batteries in nature. Clean air calm trails. Be aware there is wildlife in the area but it's safe and absolutely gorgeous almost any time of the year. Picnic benches and park benches...

Went metal detecting. Fun but didn't find anything. LOL. This is a very lovely park with lots of trail options. Great for a run or walk. Beautiful views. Picnic areas and covered area.

The trails go on for what feels like forever, you can easily get lost in this haven. It really looks surreal, like a fairy tale, no matter which way you look here. I really love the little nooks where you can dip into the slow parts of the river, and...

First time to walk this park, a really lovely path through trees and then a really long, straight stretch back to the parking lot. Might do it the other way around next time. 1.5 hrs to walk 3.9 km, but I think there was a path in the middle I could...

Deas Island is always a peaceful walk with my dogs (on leash rules) through flat trails and beautiful trees and ocean and raptors and owls! Great spots for large picnics and the Rowing Club offers a public dock for launching non-motorized boats. Nice...

Great place for picnic, birthday, have good playground for kids, have restroom and big parking

Absolutely gorgeous land with mountains and scenery lots and lots of territory to explore with random wildlife, will be exploring much of this place in the future for sure.

The park is more for camping. No much to do then walking a short distance around unless you are camping in nature:)

Beautiful old growth cedar in here amongst a nice quiet river side walk.

Doesn’t get better than this. Please visit this magical land. This feels like BC. Only negative is pay parking. $3 for 1 hour, $5 for 2. Free parking from 7-10am. Okay one other note, only open from 7am - 8pm. Seems silly to have such an incredible...

Nice hike to the top of Mill Hill for a fantastic view of View Royal off the front and Langford/Mill Creek off the back. Not too steep, but steady incline to the top. Not treacherous but a great little workout. The whole thing took about 45 minutes...

Great little hike to get the heart pumping. Good climb upwards but doesn’t take too long and has a pretty view at the top.

Long easy walking trail birds spotted, eagles, herons, easy access restaurant at south end of trail.

Definitely a must see area, they were impacted pretty significantly from the Eagle Bluff fire this past summer 2023, but our fingers are crossed that the area recovers quickly to that many other people can enjoy the unique beauty that the area has to offer...
