Parks & Nature

Fred & Bette Cotton Community Park | Orca Trail

Overlooking Active Pass, Cotton Park is one of the island's best spots to watch for seals, sea lions and passing orca pods. The easy 409 m Orca Trail loops along the foreshore and through the woods before ending on the lawn by the picnic area, and the short Seal Point Trail leads to a double bench with views of Active Pass and the Strait of Georgia. A small community garden sits near the trailhead. Please check posted signage for dog rules.
