Thetis Lake Regional Park features 635 hectares of lakes, swamp, forest, hilltops and sandy beaches which front the park's two heavily indented lakes.
Located on the west side of Victoria, about 12 km from the city centre in View Royal, this park is popular with anglers, paddlers, hikers and naturalists. In spring, the park is ablaze with a dazzling display of wildflowers.
Dominating the park is Thetis Lake, which consists of Upper Thetis and Lower Thetis, connected by a narrow culvert. Paddlers may reach the more remote beaches of the lakes and can explore the many bays and small islands that are a feature of Thetis Lake.

An extensive network of forest trails criss-cross the park, providing endless hiking opportunities for all level of hikers. A compass and a topographical map of the area are recommended due to the numerous unmarked trails and access roads.
Park facilities at Thetis Lake Regional Park include parking, washrooms, lifeguard supervised swimming, picnic tables and concessions.
Access to Thetis Lake Regional Park is via the Colwood exit off Highway 1 (Trans-Canada Hwy), west of Victoria. Turn right onto Six Mile Road in View Royal, which leads you directly to the parking lot.
