The Jack Foster Trail is in the Southey Point area (on the North end of the Island!), just off North End Road. It’s and interesting trail, often damp, that leads down through the temperate rainforest to a long shell beach on Trincomali Channel. The view is towards Wallace, Galiano and the Secretary islands.
Because it’s North facing, it’s a good spot on a warm summer morning. Also, at a very low tide there’s lots of exploring west on the beach and around the corner…
With the help of the Salt Spring Island Foundation, a group of volunteers from the Salt Spring Trail and Nature club have almost completed a new set of stairs to the beach. Looks like they’re having a bit of a battle with the vegetation.
