Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary
Nature & Parks · Saanich · Free
Two ecosystems in one sanctuary, 6 km from downtown: the Swan Lake wetland, circled by a boardwalk-and-trail loop, and Christmas Hill's Garry oak and camas meadow above it — 171 acres in total. Dogs are not permitted, which keeps it quiet and wildlife-friendly.
