Matheson Lake Regional
Park in Metchosin in the Western Communities of Greater Victoria is
set at the foot of Mount Matheson, in a steep-sided, heavily forested
environment.
Matheson Lake
Regional Park covers 162 hectares and features Matheson Lake, a
recreational area providing swimming and fishing opportunities.
The park is a paddling destination for those seeking a serene, cloistered
environment.
Matheson Trail,
a well-maintained 3-km hiking and walking trail loops around Matheson
Park. On a hot summer day, Matheson Lake is a perfect place to enjoy
a refreshing dip and a picnic at the sandy beach area.
The 46-kilometre
multi-use Galloping Goose Regional Trail
passes through Matheson Lake Park, connecting the park to the adjacent
Roche Cove Regional Park. Hikers, cyclists, joggers and horse riders
share the trail, affectionately referred to as The Goose.
