Orange Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Orange Trail is a mixed-use trail open to both hikers and mountain bikers, a single-track winding through Douglas-fir and arbutus forests, with rocky outcrops and viewpoints. This trail is best used when dry, as after rain, the rocks can be slick and some slopes are exposed.

North Cowichan Municipal Forest Reserve

Highlight • Forest

The North Cowichan Municipal Forest Reserve is sustainably managed for all users to have a healthy landscape for conservation and recreation. All trails through the forest are multi-use for non-motorized traffic so hikers, mountain bikers, and equestrians are all likely to be found enjoying the reserve.

Maple Bay Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

This viewpoint gives you an epic panorama across Maple Bay. It's located along the Pink Trail which you can access via the Orange Trail, just be aware that the climb from sea level to the view point is steep so you may pause here for a while to catch your breath.
