Lochside Regional Trail

31 kmVancouver Island107 stops

The Lochside connects the Swartz Bay ferry terminal to downtown Victoria, which means many riders' BC trip starts here. It is flat, friendly, and full of small pleasures: farm stands, ocean glimpses, and a boardwalk through wetlands. Families ride it end to end.
