Walking Trails

 
North Saanich
walking trails lead through, and to, many interesting and picturesque locations.  They are designed to offer short hikes when used individually, or moderate to long hikes when several trails are traveled in combination.  To travel trails in combination, it may be necessary to walk a short distance down a road to reach the next trail.

Please remember to:
Use proper waste receptacles.  Candy wrappers, gum, fruit peels and cores, and empty water bottles should be carried along until an appropriate public waste/recycling receptacle is found.  Leave only footprints. Walking Trail
Share the trail.  Do not walk 3-4 abreast. On streets without sidewalks, walk on the left side facing traffic.
Please don't eat the daisies.  Let the wildflowers bloom free. Be certain of your snacks.  Don't pick and eat anything that   rightfully belongs to another.  With truly wild produce, don't eat anything you can't positively identify.
Live in awareness of your surroundings. Keep your eyes open for traffic hazards, cracks in the pavement, low branches, bee swarms, and overly aggressive canine companions.
Petiquette.  Walk your pet on leash wherever required.  Pack out your pet waste and place it in an appropriate receptacle.  Keep your pet's voice low.
Don't shortcut the trail.  Stay on the developed trails in parks.  Shortcuts can lead to erosion and permanent trail damage.
