Sooke PotHoles Regional Park is a swimmers paradise located on the banks of the spectacular Sooke River.
Enjoy the views, explore the trails or take a refreshing dip on a hot summer day!

There’s more to the Sooke Potholes than just swimming. A small creek runs under a wooden bridge on the way from the parking lot. Further upstream along the creek, there is a modest, but photo worthy spot, complete with a waterfall, mossy rocks and shallow pools of clear water. Since most people will be heading for the beach, there’s a chance that you will have this waterfall to yourself for a while.

Just a 30 minute car ride beyond the urban core, the Sooke potholes are one of the more popular swimming spots in the capital region.

Public Transit: 
Take Douglas Street out of the city. Head towards Colwood by following the signs. You might be tempted to stop in Colwood and take a dip at Thetis Lake, but continue on towards Sooke, passing through Colwood, Langford and Metchosin. Once in Sooke, watch for Edward Milne High. It’s on your right. Head down Sooke River Road for about five to 10 minutes. The road ends at the Potholes Park. You can also get to the potholes by biking along the Galloping Goose Trail. The trail passes right beside the park. Keep in mind that from Victoria, it’s more than a 30-km trip. If you take your bicycle, make sure you’ve got the stamina for the ride, the swim and the ride back home.
