Misty Meadows
is 7 acres is tucked into the Highlands, a unique
greenbelt area within the 6 mile circle of
downtown. In 1993, the municipality incorporated
in order to preserve much of the Highlands as a
green space for the health of the Capital
Regional district. The Highlands contains One
Class A Provincial Park, two Regional, and three
Municipal Parks within its borders and is
enclosed by Thetis Lake and Francis King Parks to
the southwest. Swimming holes, fishing spots, the
highest peak on the Saanich Peninsula, abundant
bird and wildlife and an attractive coastline for
scuba divers and picnickers provide perfect areas
for those seeking the tranquillity of nature.
Views of downtown Victoria and the Olympic
Mountains are spectacular from some of these
little known parks. In the Highlands, lot sizes
range between 5 and 30 acres, retaining a truly
rural atmosphere. Roads are purposefully built
narrow and winding with vegetation intact in
keeping with European traffic calming principles.
Roads are shared with bicyclists, joggers,
hikers, horseback riders and wildlife. There's no
hurry in the Highlands!! A trail system for
bicycling, hiking and riding is currently being
built alongside many roads. From Misty Meadows,
the riding possibilities are endless, with a 30
mile trail corridor and many side trails to
explore.
