Nanaimo River Regional Park

"Flat Rock"~ great place to take a quick dip. Easy for kids to get to, current isnt too strong. More family oriented than spots further up the river. Not very deep but there is the odd deeper spot.

We love this walk! It's mostly flat, so easily accessible. You can either walk part, or all, of the trail. It isn't a committed loop.

Love walking my dogs in the morning and swimming in the summer. Great place to go with all members of the family.

Great part of the river! Around June/July there is nice calm shallow water for kids to enjoy and also some deeper swim holes!:) the water around 4: 00pm was PERFECT temperature and the sun was shining for a nice warm dry off! The trails are easy for a good walk or Jog! Lovely nature; Huge tadpoles leaping to the water, crayfish and huge ant hills that will make any age fall inlove with this park!

Side note: Careless people could clean up their trash abit more but for the most part it is fairly clean!

Would be nice if there was signage to show where they would like you to swim/access the river. The bathroom was disgusting.

A beautiful, well kept park right on the ocean with views of nearby islands. The dog loved it too!

Gorgeous trail with an easy loop to walk with your friends or dogs. River is lovely to swim or float in for the summer and neat to watch in other seasons. Trail is well-maintained and an easy grade. A true gem in Nanaimo!
