THE GOLDSTREAM RIVER FLOWING PAST
LUSH VEGETATION IN GOLDSTREAM PROVINCIAL PARK NEAR VICTORIA, BC, CANADA.
To say that the winding river, enchanting waterfalls,
captivating fish and birds, enormous trees, and flowers
are the only attractions to this park is an understatement.
Located a short 16 km from downtown Victoria on the
southern part of Vancouver Island, this park highlights
manmade as well as natural attractions. Not only does
the park feature Niagara Falls and Goldstream Falls, it also
is home to a new pump track and skills loop for bicyclists. From late October through November, visitors can
observe Goldstream River salmon spawning. Goldstream
Provincial Park plays a valuable role in conservation by
protecting a few red and blue listed plants and animals.
These species include the rare wildflowers, Dense Spike
Primrose, the Pacific Waterleaf, and multiple reptiles and
amphibians.
