Hiking

Hiking Around Sooke, BC

Very well known is the rugged and superbly wild 47 kilometer (29 miles) Juan de Fuca Marine Trail west of Sooke and its marvelous and easily accessible China, Sombrio and Botanical beaches – the latter featuring some of the most impressive tidepools on the Northwest Coast.

Sooke is also the last-chance full-service outfitting stop for backpackers en route to the southern end of the internationally famous 75-kilometer (46-mile) West Coast Trail, which begins 70 kilometers (46 miles) west of Sooke.

Other fine regional and provincial parks along the shore include: Witty’s Lagoon; an ancient aboriginal village site; Whiffen Spit, which juts into the middle of Sooke Harbour (both prime birding locales); Roche Creek and the adjacent Matheson Lake regional parks, which connect a forest lake and its outlet creek to Sooke Basin; and French Beach, another interesting tidepool locale.

To round out your hiking adventure holiday, visit East Sooke Regional Park and the many coastal hiking trails available there.There are more terrestrial features to check out as well, including the 60 kilometer (37 mile) Galloping Goose Trail, a wildly popular hiking, running and bicycling path along an old railway bed between Victoria and the former mining area of Leechtown north of Sooke. Also north of town is a longtime cooling off spot on a canyon of the Sooke River, the Sooke Potholes Provinical Park.
