Francis/King Regional Park in Victoria BC

Francis/King Regional Park is an excellent place for visitors of all abilities to explore nature and one of the most accessible wilderness parks near Victoria BC.

The park offers 11 kilometres of trails through mature forest dotted with meadows where you may enjoy wildflowers during the spring months.  There are connector trails leading to the Thetis Lake trail system and wetlands.  A boardwalk trail named for Elsie King, a prominent Girl Guide Leader, allows people with mobility issues to experience the beauty and tranquility of a mature temperate rainforest.

The Nature Centre is staffed on weekends and some holidays by CRD Parks staff and volunteer naturalists who can answer your questions about local flora and fauna and give directions to the various trails.
