Colliery Dam Park has a network of short, well-maintained trails in Nanaimo’s beautiful urban forest. This section is part of the main loop that connects both reservoirs with bridges, waterfalls, and access to Granny Falls just beyond the upper lake. Trails are mostly flat and partly paved, making them ideal for walking and jogging. There are plenty of off-leash areas, so don’t hesitate to bring your pup. These trails are perfect for a quick nature break close to town.
