Parc Westwood Lake
Located in Nanaimo, Westwood Lake Park is a prime destination for hiking, fishing, kayaking, canoeing and swimming. At the entrance to the park, you will find two sandy beaches: one is near the paved parking lot, while the second is a little further away, very close to the gravel parking lot.
An easy 5.5 km trail circles the lake and winds through a wooded area. Dogs must be leashed on the trail. However, the park has an off-leash area.
Electric motors and non powered boats are welcome on the lake. The park is open year round.
