Gowlland Tod Provincial Park
Tod Inlet Trailhead:
Trails located
around the Wallace Drive/Tod Inlet point are gentle and pass
through old settlements associated
the Vancouver Portland Cement Company, which operated in the
area from 1904 to the 1920s. This trailhead provides access to
the shores
of Tod Inlet, whose calm waters are an ideal setting for a picnic
or relaxing visit.
Mackenzie
Bight/Caleb Pike Trailheads:
This section
of the park offers beautiful, maintained trails through mature
forest and along
the water. The majority of the park’s trail system extends
from Mackenzie Bight to Caleb Pike, with linkages to Mount Finlayson
in Goldstream Provincial Park. Trails wind through the Gowlland
Range, which preserves rare dry coastal Douglas fir habitat and
features grassy meadows, moss-covered rocky knolls and old-growth
forest. The Gowlland Range towers 430 meters over Finlayson Arm,
a unique fjord that only replenishes its marine waters once a year.
A number of viewpoints offer spectacular glimpses across Finlayson
Arm on this moderate to difficult hike.
