- Ever since the Hudson’s Bay Company selected this sheltered bay for its fur-trading fort in 1842, Victoria Harbour, in what is now Victoria, British Columbia, has been a gathering point. Crowds once assembled to eagerly check out the single women arriving from the United Kingdom on “bride ships” in the 1860s; to greet the Victoria-based fleet of North Pacific sealing schooners, the workhorses of the fur-seal industry that peaked in the 1890s; or to say farewell to troops departing for the two world wars.

This 13-acre Snohomish County park in Bothell offers about a mile of trails, all of them wide, paved and ADA accessible. The park has a lot of open grassy areas, other areas where the trails pass through forest, and it has a large playground area. Wherever possible, native vegetation has been replanted or maintained. As in any urban park, it is easy to make your own adventure. Or, if you prefer to follow a suggested route, you could try the following loop.
