The “potholes” are unique geological formations – deep pools in the river rock – that offer some of the best freshwater swimming in the region.
The Sooke River is the second largest on southern Vancouver Island and home to a productive salmon run every fall.
Riding the Goose
Sooke Potholes Regional Park is a great starting point for a trip by bicycle or on foot on the Galloping Goose Regional Trail. Travel south toward Roche Cove Regional Park, or through wilderness scenery all the way to the end of the trail.
Campground
The CRD is pleased to announce the transfer of Sooke Potholes campground to the Region, with the support of The Land Conservancy of British Columbia (TLC) in consideration of their overall restructuring plan. As a result of the transfer, the CRD passed the campground (now called the “Spring Salmon Place Campground”) to the T’Sou-ke First Nation who previously expressed an interest in operating the campground.
Sea to Sea Green Blue Belt
The park is near the south-west corner of the Sea to Sea Green Blue Belt Regional Park Reserve, a corridor of protected green space linking Saanich Inlet in the east to Juan de Fuca Strait in the west. The Sea to Sea Green Blue Belt separates the developed urban area of the Capital Region from tracts of forest land to the west.
