There are over 5 kilometres of trails in the park. The trails pass through a variety of unique and scenic ecosystems from a lush Douglas fir, Cedar and Alder forest that give way to a sprawling meadow and marshland, then transitions to an oceanside walkway. Many visitors also enjoy strolling along the massive white sand flats of Rathtrevor Beach. There are also many programs offered including by donation programs in the summer for visitors.
