We have been to the park many times. In the Spring we were fortunate enough to have a naturalist help us identify some birds. I love to photograph them but I have a terrible time remembering visual information so this was a great service to know without having Bird Twitter be uhm it's,,,, | On Sunday we went while the Salmon were running. I used to live near the Adam's River where the Salmon swim 700 km upstream against the mighty Fraser so I admit I have teased our local salmon for being on the lazy side. But in our catastrophic climate it was a relief to see them thrashing up through rocks in this final act of their life. We are so lucky to basically have all this nature in our backyard. I hope to go visit the salmon again in better light. If you go in the spring and have never known why they call these somewhat beautiful vegetation skunk cabbages you will find out. There are picnic tables under shelter, a campground, washrooms and an interpretive center I confess to never having seen with the pandemic the naturalist was roving when I was there last. I love nature so it would be weird to give it a 4 . Despite being thwarted in my quest for the perfect photo - the quest is the thing.

With provision for day camping with your family and doing a barbeque along with going on trails all around the campground sets, gold stream, provincial Park apart from others. I visited Goldstream on weekend to hike Mt Finlayson. It’s a pretty steep hike and would rate it from moderate to difficult. It can be done between sunrise and sunset hours only. It is highly recommended to have proper gear with you for completing the trail for Mt Finlayson. Stay on the designated trail only. Carry refreshments with you including water on the hike. There are lot of small creeks as you go up the mountain. Other places to see at Goldstream Provincial Park are Niagara Falls that looks spectacular, especially during winters; Salmon runs- It generally occurs between mid-late October to the end of November, where thousands of salmon make their way through Goldstream Park's world-class spawning stream to spawn and die—completing their life cycle. Highly recommended for families to have a get together and spend a fun day in nature.

A very busy park, and the entrance/exit is in a high traffic area - so be careful finding parking and be especially careful leaving! Other than the traffic issues, this is quite a nice park. The river valley is beautiful, the paths are created wonderfully for the number of people and the picnic area is super for simple sit down lunches or small fire cooking (although fires are probably banned in the hot summer months). This is a great place to see the autumn salmon run. I was there the beginning of October, which seemed to be just before the salmon started. The leaves were turning yellow and orange (very Goldstream) and the forest environment made me want to stay longer. You can walk out to the head of the inlet, but you won't be going to a beach at all. There's a nice view of Mt Work from there, too. There is a campsite a few minutes closer to Victoria (which I know nothing about), and Langford isn't far off, so if you can book a site this will provide all you need.

Overall we were very happy to stay here. It is a large campground with nice sites, but of course hard to get a reservation for. There is a waterfall you can walk to, a playground for younger children and an enclosed bike park. The roads are paved, good fir chalk art,scooters, etc. There are many bathrooms, and two specifically that have showers that are reasonably well kept. Bathroom stalls in these are concrete and spacious, there is hand washing with soap (some campgrounds don't have soap but this one does) and a hand dryer, plus 2 plugs for hair dryers or whatever. There are also dish washing stations on the outside of the bathrooms, which is really nice. Neighbors in sites are hit or miss. A few nights we had quiet nice neighbours, then a few nights we had smoking, loud music playing, baby screaming neighbors. Staff are nice and keep things clean.

Nice little weekend hike through Goldstream Provincial Park and hitting up Niagara Falls. At 47.5 metres it’s almost at high as its famous namesake. 💦 Some hills to climb up and down, around rocks and trees. Be careful on the rocks through the water. Or stay to the sides and keep dry. Recommend hiking 🥾 shoes or boots. The park is also home to 600-year-old Douglas fir trees and western red cedar, western yew and hemlock, red alder, big leaf maple and black cottonwood. 🌲 Phot doesn’t do it justice. The trails are relatively accessible and flat. Easy for walking. I’ll be back in the fall to watch the annual chum salmon spawning run. 🐟

We hiked to the Nature House which was closed but they have an excellent view point towards the inlet. We discovered the Niagara creek tunnel was dry and were able to walk through and see the falls, We hiked up to the top of the falls (go up the stairs on the north side of the creek) it is a strenuous hike up to and above Niagara Canyon on a rustic trail with several steep places and lots of rocks and roots. We reached the Gold Mine and a couple of springs then came back, trail improved in this area. 5.3 miles round trip with a total of 1,000 foot gain (500 ft each way). Beautiful area, enjoyed it but not for the faint of heart or legs.
