Vancouver Island Trail

The Vancouver Island Trail is an under-development 770 km-long hiking trail stretching the length of Vancouver Island from Oak Bay to Cape Scott Provincial Park, passing through communities such as Lake Cowichan, Port Alberni and Cumberland, and including already-existing trails such as the Galloping Goose Regional Trail, Cowichan Valley Trail, Alberni Inlet Trail, and North Coast Trail. The trail is intended to be accessible to hikers five months of the year, with some sections available much longer. Various sections will be available for non-motorized multi-purpose, where permitted.
