21. CABLE BAY TRAIL
Forests and ferns, shoreline trails along a sandstone bank through arbutus, views of Gabriola Island cliffs and the turbulent currents of the infamous Dodd Narrows.
Distance: 4.7 km return Easy to moderate
Starting elevation: 85 m
Low point: sea level All seasons but a few muddy patches in winter or wet weather
Difficulty: Most of the trail to Cable Bay itself is broad and well graded, with switchbacks to reduce steep sections. The shoreline part of the trail (not in the park) is a little rough underfoot. Walking along the shore itself can require a little care to avoid slipping.
Start: From the junction where Highway 19A splits from Highway 19 south of Nanaimo, follow the signs to Cedar. By the Esso service station turn onto Holden Corso Road, and after 1.9 km take a slight left onto Barnes Road (the main through road). At 3.4 km turn left and drive 500 m along Nicola Road to its end in a large parking area with several signs.
Unfortunately, a controversial golf course and housing development are planned for the current forested area on either side of the path, but the intention is to leave the trail usable.
