Goldstream Park offers beautiful scenery, great hiking, a train trestle, waterfall, tons of salmon especially during spawning season (October - December), and the list goes on.
With its extensive hiking trails winding through old growth rainforests and waterfalls, Goldstream is another great adventure to consider. In the fall Goldstream is famous for its spawning salmon and the wildlife it draws.
For those more adventurous types who are looking for a mountain challenge to conquer, Goldstream's Mt.Finlayson offers just that. From the park entrance, cross over the little bridge and the main trailhead is off to your right. This uphill trek takes roughly 45 minutes to an hour and although the newly constructed Bear Mountain Golf Course is a bit of a eyesore from the mountaintop viewpoint, just hop on over to the other side and enjoy the beautiful lush forested views of the Malahat and the Peninsula.
Directions
Head out of town on Douglas, which turns into Transcanada highway
Bus Directions*
Catch the #50 Goldstream (the stop’s at Douglas St at Pandora St in front of Gala Fabrics)
Get off at Canwest Mall and transfer to the #58 Langford Meadows (please note that this bus has limited service and so you are best to plan ahead to be sure that your buses connect.)
Be warned that the bus does not take you right into the park; rather, it drops you off at the Goldstream campground and you have to walk back to the park (about a 20 minute walk)
For bus times check out Victoria Transit ↑ or ask someone at the front desk for a peek at the Rider’s Guide or call BusLine at 382-6161
Cycling and driving Directions

1. Take Douglas St. north out of town
2. Douglas St. will turn into Hwy. #1 - just stay on this road and it will take you right to Goldstream. It is clearly signposted on the right hand side of the road.
