East Sooke Regional Park

This is the largest CRD park, encompassing 3,512 acres of natural, protected coastal landscape on Vancouver Island. Here you can experience solitude and harmony with nature in a park untouched by urban progress. There are more than 31 miles of trails beginning at any of three entry points. Around Becher Bay, the Coast Salish Indians reef-netted salmon, and collected shellfish, berries and roots for winter months spent at Pedder Bay. The late 1800's were busy in East Sooke: large sailing ships & dugout canoes ran supplies to and from Fort Victoria, and a steam-powered sawmill provided lumber. Loggers, miners and fishers sought their fortunes here. Stumps 6-9 feet in diameter can still be found. The fish trap shack at Cabin Point remains.
