Location

About

  • There are over five km of trails in the park for you to enjoy. The trails are located among douglas fir, cedar and alder trees that lead to a meadow and marshland, then to an oceanside walkway.

  • Rathtrevor takes its name from the Irish family who homesteaded on this land. William Rath, a gold prospector, arrived in 1886 with his young wife and baby daughter. They built a log cabin, cleared the land, and in 1895 they built the barn. William died in 1903, leaving Elizabeth the farm and five children. She proved to be an industrious person, successfully running the farm and eventually operating it as a campground. (source)
