Mountain Forest Regional Park is a beautiful park, showcasing mature, second growth Coastal Douglas-fir forest, Garry Oak meadow, rocky outcrops, and arbutus strands, all of which are some of Canada’s most rare and imperiled ecosystems.
The park is home to several species-at-risk, including the Western Screech Owl and Common Nighthawk, and serves as part of the headwaters for the regionally-important Colquitz River system via Excelsior Creek.
Please note that Mountain Forest Regional Park only contains a few simple trails and currently has no public facilities or amenities.
