Fort Victoria RV Park
The map from government website. Rick and I dive in dry suits that keep us warm and dry when under the water. Peter
and David dive in wet suits where a thin layer of water gets between their skin and the rubber of their suit. T is water heats up somewhat from their body temperature while in the water but once they come out into the cold air they are anxious to change into warm dry clothes. As we approached the dive site area parking lot we realized there would be many
divers under the water today. Two local dive schools brought their students in small vans to complete their underwater dives for certifi cation here and several beginning divers with two instructors poured out of each van. Having the comforts of our trailer nearby at this lovely campground made the
weekend very pleasant. We enjoyed the views from above the sea as well as from under it. 4
Things To Do Nearby Kayaking:
The 2-km paddle north from Porteau Cove to Furry Creek is a pleasant workout and a great way to enjoy the off-shore views and the beautiful Britannia Mountain ranges.

Hiking:
The area between Vancouver and Whistler has unlimited opportunities for hiking and backpacking but the trails are challenging and strenuous. The Howe Sound Crest Trail begins in Cypress Provincial Park in North Vancouver and runs almost 30 km across ridges and mountains. The Deeks Lake Trail (13 km return; 3-4 hours each way) leads hikers up a steep rock-and-roots trail that passes through lush evergreen forest.
Golf:
Furry Creek Golf and Country Club in Lions Bay is considered the most scenic 18-hole golf course in British Columbia. To the north in Squamish, the Squamish Valley Golf & Country Club is a championship course. Garibaldi Springs Golf Resort in Squamish is set in stunning surroundings, showing great respect for the environmentally sensitive habitat.
Murrin Provincial Park is a lakeside location about 3-km north of Britannia Beach, on the west side of Hwy 99. The waters of Browning Lake have picnic tables on the far side of the little lake, some in the open, others sheltered in the forest.
Shannon Falls Provincial Park is said to be one of the most popular picnic spots in the entire Sea to Sky corridor. Located on the east side of Hwy 99 just south of Stawamus Chief Mountain, extensive picnic grounds surround the base of BC’s third-highest waterfall (335 m). The best time to picnic here is on the fi rst warm days of spring and the last ones of fall, when water levels in the falls are running powerfully.
At the head of Howe Sound and surrounded by mountains, the community of Squamish is growing in fame as the Outdoor Recreation Capital of Canada.
