Staying Close to Home..Doris Mcarthy Trail

Location: 201 Guildwood Pkwy (The pin for the location is acting up so go by the address please!) We have been far and wide this summer from Italy to Tofino BC including the west coast trail. Now it's time to stay close to home! **Get to know the waterfront with Angie and get one of the last swims of the summer in!** Doris McCarthy Trail has beautiful views of the water and lots of wildlife. This is mostly flat except the beginning which includes a bit of a steep hill. It takes approximately 10 minutes to walk down to the lake and after that the route goes east and west along the water. Bring a bathing suit if you want to jump in - this is a perfect Sunday hike. Distance is about 13km.
