Hiking and Biking in Nanaimo
- Go for a hike or bike ride on one of the many trails in the area. You can enjoy the scenic views of the ocean, mountains, and forests, and maybe spot some wildlife along the way. Some popular trails are the Nanaimo River Trail, the Parkway Trail, and the Harbourfront Walkway.
My favourite spot to go hiking is just up above Jingle Pot road where the waterfalls are (it's called Ammonite falls). It's never crowded and our dogs really love the trails.
