Bodega Ridge Trailhead Parking

Highlight • Parking

A small dirt parking area at the end of Cottage Way provides access to the Bodega Ridge Trail on Galiano Island. The final stretch of road includes narrow switchbacks and limited roadside space, so it can feel tight for larger vehicles. There are no washrooms or facilities at the trailhead.

Bodega Ridge Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Other

Climbing through coastal Douglas fir forest and rocky bluffs, the Bodega Ridge Trail leads to sweeping views across the Salish Sea and the surrounding Gulf Islands. The trail steadily gains elevation along the ridge, with exposed sections opening onto dramatic coastal viewpoints that feel surprisingly remote for such a short hike. Expect roots, uneven rocks and steeper sections along the climb, particularly in wet conditions.

Bodega Ridge Provincial Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

Set along the eastern side of Galiano Island, Bodega Ridge Provincial Park protects a rugged stretch of coastal bluff, Douglas fir forest and rocky ridgeline overlooking the Salish Sea. The park is best known for its elevated viewpoints across the Gulf Islands, with sections of exposed rock and Garry oak ecosystem rare within British Columbia. Bald eagles are commonly seen soaring along the ridge, especially on windy days.
