Swan Lake Nature House
Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary is a 135-acre urban refuge in Victoria encompassing a wetland around Swan Lake and a Garry oak forest atop Christmas Hill, drawing over 100,000 trail visitors annually. The Nature House serves as the interpretive hub, with a gift shop and native plant resources, while 4.5 km of walking trails wind through two distinct ecosystems rich in rare native plants and Pacific Flyway bird species. For over 50 years this non-profit sanctuary has operated as a living classroom for ecological stewardship, making it a compelling stop for cyclists exploring Greater Victoria.
