    Airplane ruin in the middle of the forest. You can go around the outside and take a look inside. Definitely worth it, the hiking trail there is also very beautiful, only often very muddy.

      The Royal Canadian Air Force's Canadian Vickers PBV-1A Canso A crashed at the foot of Radar Hill shortly after takeoff in February 1945. All 12 passengers survived the crash.

      The path to the aircraft's wreckage is not an official Parks Canada trail but is entirely within the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve.

        Beautiful route through the forest, the swampy areas are well secured with a boardwalk. Still not suitable for strollers or wheelchairs.
        The plane is well preserved and worth the trip. History: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._4_Squadron_RCAF?wprov=sfla1
