This flat trail follows a farm access road from the end of Swallowfield Road, passing fields, tidal sloughs and salt marsh before reaching the Chemainus River. Much of the route is open and exposed, so there’s little shade on hot days, and mosquitoes can be persistent around the wetlands. Expect roughly 4.5 kilometres out and back, with a few opportunities to branch off and explore closer to the estuary.
