Witty's Lagoon Regional Park is a 56 hectare park popular for many summer activities. The park is the essence of a natural water park. There is a waterfall, a beach, some trails, a creek, a salt marsh, a spit and a rocky shoreline. All provide exploration and entertainment.
On site there is a Nature Centre and picnic tables. It is a great way to familiarize yourself with the park, to grab a trail map and to learn more about the marine life in the area.
The creek in the park is called Bilston Creek. The creek is surrounded by douglas-fir and broadleaf maple trees. The creek leads to a waterfall which is best viewed in the winter months when it is rolling at its peak.
