Pumpkin Time on the Beautiful Lochside Trail, Victoria to Sidney


The Fantastic Lochside Trail is Great for Hiking/Cycling/Walking at Any Time of Year! Today was a lovely sunny Sunday, with many people picking up their plump pumpkins ready for Halloween.

The Lochside Trail runs from Sidney to Victoria and is an easy 29km long. Originally an old railway line, now converted into a recreational trail, this lovely walking, biking, birdwatching, running trail passes through beaches, farmlands, a nature sanctuary, old wooden trestle bridges, passing by horses, fat pigs, a remote-control Aeroplane Club, the Heritage Acres Society grounds and urban neighbourhoods, as well as a super ocean-side view.

Cycling along the Lochside Trail














The Trail is partly paved and partly gravel and you can easily get on or off it anywhere between Sidney and Victoria.

If visitors want to experience the trail, bikes are available for rent in Victoria, with maps of both the Galloping Goose Trail and the Lochside Trail. You'll see more of the area than if you were motoring along the highway of course, and what better way to enjoy southern Vancouver Island, just about year round!
