Winter Activities: Explore the Magic of Vancouver Island

Winter at Pacific Playgrounds doesn’t mean staying indoors—the surrounding Campbell River area offers a wealth of winter activities for every type of traveler. Here are a few adventures you can embark on during your stay:

Snowshoeing and Hiking: Explore the scenic trails just steps away from Pacific Playgrounds, such as the Oyster River Trail, which offers peaceful riverside walks surrounded by lush forests. For a more adventurous outing, head to Mt. Washington, only a short drive from the Resort, where you can enjoy world-class skiing, as well as hiking and snowshoeing through pristine winter landscapes. Whether you’re seeking a tranquil nature walk or a full day of mountain adventure, the area offers endless opportunities to connect with nature.

Fishing: Winter fishing on Vancouver Island is a unique experience. Cast your line for steelhead, trout, and salmon in nearby rivers or head out for some saltwater fishing. You can get anything you might need at our Tackle Shack!

Wildlife Watching: Winter is an excellent time for wildlife enthusiasts. Spot bald eagles, sea lions, and seals as they make their winter home along the coastline. Whale watching is also a possibility, with sightings of orcas and humpbacks often reported. For those looking to experience wildlife up close, Island Life Expeditions is located onsite at Pacific Playgrounds and offers guided wildlife tours. Their expert guides will help you explore the local waters and coastline, ensuring a memorable and informative wildlife watching experience.
