Welcome to Gowlland Tod Provincial Park, a hiker's paradise just a short drive from Victoria!

This stunning park offers a variety of trails catering to all levels of adventurers. Whether you’re a seasoned trekker or a casual stroller, you’ll find your perfect path here.

Challenge yourself on the steep inclines of the Malahat Viewpoint Trail, Jocelyn Hill or Holmes Peak for panoramic vistas of the Saanich Inlet and the distant Gulf Islands, or take it easy on the Tod Inlet Trail, which meanders gently through lush forests and leads to a serene, hidden beach.

Each trail is a gateway to nature’s splendor, offering glimpses of wildlife, vibrant wildflowers, and the calming presence of ancient trees.
