What to Expect at Camosun Bog
Camosun Bog itself is a fairly small protected area of marshland. Around it is a boardwalk that makes a loop. It takes about 10 minutes to walk the full way around. Surrounding it is forest and other trails. It’s a pretty spot.
The bog is an open area. You can explore the immediate area in about 45 minutes. However, there are trails throughout Pacific Spirit Park so you could walk for hours if you wanted.
The terrain in the immediate area around the bog is level and easy to get around. It’s pretty flat from the entrance by Queen Elizabeth School off Camosun Street. However, there are stairs on the other side of the bog which is just a short walk away. So the bog area is wheelchair-accessible if you access it from the right spot, but not all the trails.
Restoration of the 2,000+ year-old area of reclaimed peat and marshland has been going on for many years. The result is the building of boardwalks through the forest and the reintroduction of natural vegetation. It’s a nice place to explore.
Since it only takes about 10 minutes to walk around the bog, it isn’t the only thing you’ll want to see in the area. People explore the attraction because of the trails. The bog is a nice feature of the trail network but there’s more to explore.
