RDN News Release - Lighthouse Country Regional Trail Improvements

The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) celebrated the completion of improvements to Lighthouse Country Regional Trail on Sunday, May 25. With the completion of this work, there is now a continuous 4 km regional trail connection from Lions Community Park at Lioness Boulevard to Wildwood Community Park at McColl Road. Visitors can enjoy many new features, including accessibility improvements. 

Lighthouse Country Regional Trail (LCRT) is separated into north and south sections and enables visitors to experience the beauty of our rare coastal Douglas-fir forest. The north loop and neighbouring Wildwood Community Park provide about 2 kilometres of footpath popular with walkers and equestrians. The south section offers about 2.5 kilometres of wheelchair-accessible trail.
