Westwood Lake Beach

Highlight • Beach

This lake and park is a hidden gem in Nanaimo. There is a nice beach for swimming and sunbathing, picnic tables and playground and jetty.
In summer the lake is very popular and the beach is often full.

View of Morrell Lake

Highlight • Lake

The path leading down to the Morrell Lake viewpoint transitions into well-maintained dirt and gravel tracks that are mostly flat and comfortable for hikers of all skill levels. Because this area is much more secluded, it is a prime spot for photography, or birdwatching without the crowds.

Westwood Ravine Park

Highlight • Trail

The park features a mix of dense forest areas and open spaces, meaning your views change as you explore. In the spring, you will see bright new growth, while the fall brings crisp air and beautiful autumn colors.
