Octopus Hole Conservation Area

Wildlife refuge

👍👍 Nice easy dive site. Follow the directions online or descend to 35-45 feet and swim south from the "stairs." It's much easier to follow the directions starting at the dead fall though. The stairs are mostly just uneven natural rock stairs, they are in rough shape so be careful. Saw 2 giant pacifi...

The Outback Kangaroo Farm

Wildlife park

😠 Being a small business owner myself it's very difficult for me to write a 1-star review for any business, but unfortunately in this case I must share that masks are not being required or enforced. No employees were wearing a mask. No social distancing of any kind. Disappointing to say the least....

Beaver Lodge Sanctuary

Wildlife refuge

👍👍 Hidden urban wetlands is a gem of this city. It can be a bit difficult to locate if you have never been before. Walk down the trail to the dock and the Beaver's lodge is directly in front of you about 30ft off the end of the dock. The beavers are most active at dawn and dusk but I have seen and tak...

Riverview Wildlife Refuge

Wildlife refuge

🫤 Used to love this place, particularly since it was 3 minutes from my house. There was lots of bird variety, even in the winter. Increasing numbers of dogs being walked off-leash stresses the wildlife and some human patrons. The birds that used to be common in the trailside cover have gone deeper. S...

Bob Heirman Wildlife Park at Thomas' Eddy

Wildlife refuge

👍👍 I’m glad I gave this place another shot. After a visit in the ultra-damp Spring of 2022, I didn’t see much in terms of wildlife and grey skies muddled the views. But as I was heading up Highway 9 a few weeks back, I decided to see if this place was worth a second chance. After pulling into the park...

Portage Creek Wildlife Reserve

Wildlife refuge

👍 Large expanse of grassland with a border of evergreens with lumpy surface to a bench facing a view of a busy street and mountains beyond. Not much going on, and that traffic noise nearby makes it unappealing. The gravel driveway is easy to miss and the parking lot could only hold half a dozen vehicl...
