Community Guide: Wilson Creek / Davis Bay

These two cozy communities are all clustered along the shores of Trail Bay and offer beautiful views of the Strait of Georgia.

WHAT WE'RE FAMOUS FOR:
  • Savour the sunset at Davis Bay; it's one of the best spots to do so
  • Dakota Ridge winter recreation including 13km of groomed cross country ski trails and 8km of snowshoe trails with fabulous views
  • Wilson Creek is home to the Sechelt Airport where small private aircraft can land

Dakota Ridge Winter Recreation

THINGS TO DO:    
  • Storm watching from the Davis Bay Seawall & Pier
  • Visit Chapman Creek Fish Hatchery, view salmon fingerlings, the onsite educational centre where you can learn about the life cycle of a salmon and net a trout or two for a great BBQ treat
  • Hike Chapman Creek Trail, if you can handle a bit of exertion and a couple of muddy holes to cross, and a lot of nature and tranquility, this is definitely the place to go. 
  • Enjoy a fabulous steak dinner at Sirens by the Sea Steakhouse
  • Try one of the many flavours of gelato at Pier 17
  • Shop for antiques or treasures at the Mosaic Market
  • Have a tarot session in the Reading Room at Shanti Gifts
