Nature
Koksilah River Provincial Park is a day-use park on southern Vancouver Island in British Columbia, centered on the Koksilah River west of Shawnigan Lake. It is known for hiking, fishing, swimming, picnicking, mountain biking, and scenic views, and it also serves as a popular route or stop for motorcyclists. Although officially open only for day use, many people camp there in summer. A well-known feature is Burnt Bridge, a gated metal bridge over the river whose name preserves the memory of an earlier bridge built in 1865 and destroyed by forest fire. Nearby, the Kinsol Trestle adds another notable crossing of the Koksilah River.
