A warm summer day - perfect weather for a walk through Kingburne Park. We haven't walked there for about 4 years. Nine of us did about 6 to 7 Km (Down and Up - and a little bushwhacking) before heading back to Shawnigan Coffee House for a well deserved beverage. Map and photos below -- DeNNis.
 |
| Drove out to the end of Kingburne Rd which is the Kingburne Pk Trailhead. Backtracked about a block down to Gary Place where we got onto the the steep trail and stairway down towards the Koksilah River. After a little confusion and bushwhacking we found the proper trail and did a large counter-clockwise loop back to where we started. |
 |
| The park sign shows a very basic map. |
 |
| A very steep trail with some stairways will take you right down to the Koksilah river. |
 |
| We found a faint trail which we assumed had not been well used or cared for. |
 |
| Some interesting old stumps and regrowth. |
 |
| A little wet and rough going in places. |
 |
| Mother nature has used many of the old stumps for regrowth. |
 |
| We decided to backtrack a bit and got onto the proper trail. |
 |
| We were sure we had the proper trail when we found the old mine shaft we had explored in previous years. |
 |
| A couple shots of the inside. It only goes in about 20 feet or so. |
 |
| We count heads and carry on. |
 |
| Have to watch our step as the trail is very narrow in places. |
 |
| Back onto an access road which should take us back to where we started. |
 |
| A bit of colour in places. |
 |
| No, we are not lost. There's the cars. |
