Browns’ Wood Trail

Amenities
Hiking

Browns’ Wood Trail begins at 8069 Thomson Place and provides an east-west connection between the Thunderbird Trail (also known as the Gail Wicken’s Trail) and Thomson Place, on the southern slopes of Mount Newton. Winding through one of the most pristine forested landscapes in the community, it is now possible to hike (almost) entirely off-road between Butterfield Park and John Dean Provincial Park. It was Central Saanich residents Dorothy and Bill Brown’s fervent wish that future generations enjoy the exceptional beauty of their land, which led them to donating the public trail corridor through their property.​
