Goldstream Provincial Park
- Goldstream Provincial Park
Goldstream Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada. It is particularly known for the annual salmon runs in the Goldstream River, and the large numbers of bald eagles that congregate at that time. The park is one of the largest tourist attractions on southern Vancouver Island. The total size of the park is 3.79 square kilometres. It is located in the city of Langford, British Columbia.
Huge trees stand on the Goldstream River floodplain. Among them are Douglas-fir and western red cedar up to 600 years old. They tower over substantial specimens of western hemlock, black cottonwood, bigleaf maple and red alder, which in turn shade western yew. Steep ridges -- home to arbutus, western flowering dogwood and lodgepole pine -- overlook the floodplain. Many wildflowers are seen during spring and summer.
