Elk/Beaver Lake Regional Park

Highlight • Lake

Elk/Beaver Lake Regional Park is a fantastic location that surrounds two conjoined lakes with forest trails and water access. The park includes a 10-kilometer multi-use loop trail, four beaches, and opportunities for swimming, paddling, fishing, and horseback riding. With its blend of lakeshore, wetlands, and second-growth forest, it’s a popular year-round destination for families and athletes and is a great place to spend an afternoon, especially on a warm, sunny day.

Elk Lake

Highlight • Lake

Elk Lake is a deep, freshwater lake connected to Beaver Lake by a narrow channel. Known for its calm surface and consistent winds, it’s a training ground for competitive rowing and a favorite for paddling and fishing. Surrounded by forest and part of a larger regional park, it's a great place for a quiet escape just minutes from Victoria.
