Heel your sole in the heart of Vancouver Island.

Does your sole need heeling? If you can muster the feet you may just meet Old Mother Hubbard.

To get there take Highway 4 / The Pacific Rim Highway west out of Port Alberni towards Tofino. After the second bridge, take your third right onto Central Lake Road approximately 5.3 miles. The Great Central Lake Shoe tree is on your left, a repository of shoes and artifacts for some 45 years. See if you can find the geocache "Good 4 your sole".

Do not litter.

Canoe Great Central Lake and Hike to Della Falls and Love Lake

To get the the Della Falls trail head in Strathcona Park, you must cross Great Central Lake. This is a 45 km journey via either canoe, kayak, or speedboat. We chose to canoe, and it took approximately 9 steady hours. We parked our vehicles just on the edge of Central Lake Road across from Great Central Lake RV Resort & Marina (formerly Ark Resort.) There is a designated pay parking area but...

Catch the Salmon Run on Vancouver Island

There are many places to see the Salmon making their yearly return to spawning sites. This year while living on Vancouver Island I could not pass on the chance to marvel at this amazing sight. I decided to head to Stamp River to catch the run and was not disappointed, in fact it was so amazing I recommend anyone if you ever have the chance to see the Salmon battle their way upriver, I suggest y...

Run the Alberni Inlet Trail

I have lived on Vancouver Island my entire life yet I had never heard about this world class trail until last summer. A 24km point to point coastal trail that travels the length of the Alberni Inlet from the coast right to the town? Through paradise meadows, along sun drenched bluffs, past waterfalls and over aqua marine rivers? Yup. That's right. It turns out that one of Vancouver Island’s ...

Hike to Hole in the Wall

The Hole in The Wall is located just outside the city of Port Alberni, British Columbia. The day hike is easy enough to bring kids on the adventure, is dog friendly and offers a beautiful view of some of Port Alberni's history. Previous to the 1960's, the Hole In The Wall was the opening for a pipeline that provided the town with fresh water. After the pipeline was updated, the water eroded awa...

Hike to Rosewall Creek Falls

Starting at the Rosewall Creek Provincial Park parking lot you take the trail upstream of the creek passing under the inland island highway bridge. This trail eventually leads out of the provincial park boundary, but don't worry you haven't gone too far.It is about a 7 km roundtrip hike and the whole way is through a beautiful lush west coast rain forest. In it you will see stunning hemlock and...

Explore Cathedral Grove in MacMillan Provincial Park

This park is a great stop right on the side of highway 4 heading to or from the Tofino area. If you are heading to Tofino on Vancouver Island, this park is hard to miss. There are signs for it and easy parking on the side of the highway. There are two loop trails on either side of the highway, and they are quite easy with self guided information about whats in the park, along the trails. Smokin...
