This walk will take us from Lochside Park at Lochside Trail then to the high view point of Sayward Hill, where we can see the beautiful Haro Strait and the northern part of the peninsula. The trail will lead us to the peaceful Sayward Hill Park forest, followed by a leisurely stroll through Cordova Bay residential area. The route will come to the hidden gem of Cordova Bay: Doumac Park, where we can see towering evergreen trees that resemble an Emily Carr painting. After all the ups and downs, we will go for a coffee break at Mattick’s Farm via Cordova Beach before making our way back to Lochside Park.
