For the last of our spring break southern hikes we started at the popular Westwood Lake trail in Nanaimo. It was even more popular than usual with 3 bus loads of elementary students hiking around the lake. We hiked around the lake on a very scenic trail that is never far from the shoreline. From the east end of Westwood Lake we entered Morrell Nature Sanctuary and hiked along Morrell Lake and the beaver pond. A very short road link took us from the Nature Sanctuary to Colliery Dam Park. Here we hiked around the two lakes and stopped for a sunny lakeside lunch. After lunch we retraced our route back to our vehicles at Westwood Lake.
