About the Park

Hiking trails wind through forest across the south and east face of Mount Newton. In spring, the park comes alive with vivid display of wildflowers: blue camas lilies, common red paintbrush, sea blush, and shooting stars. The summit of Mount Newton is also regarded as an excellent location to watch some of the best sunsets on Vancouver Island.
