Shawnigan Wharf Park — Attraction in Area B (Shawnigan Lake)

Nice little park with a (separate) beach for swimming and wharf/pier with boat launch. There's actually a lot of fish you can catch off the pier if you want.

The only problem you have to watch out for is trashy people coming along, ignoring all the "no diving" and other signs about "no swimming" and try to chase away anyone fishing on the pier.

He tried to swim away and only retrieved the rod after being loudly called out by the rod's owner; I left shortly after seeing this.

People often fish off the pier or off the wharf.

It's great place to spend a bit of time swimming,...

Rough boat launch. Etiquette surrounding the boat launch is atrocious. Kayaks and paddleboards launch out of the boat launch with no urgency whatsoever. People swimming, diving off the dock where it says no diving and it's quite unnecessarily challenging to launch or dock a boat larger...
