    The hike around Florence Lake follows a 3.1 km out-and-back route in Langford that travels around the southern edge of a quaint woodland lake. In addition to the nice scenery surrounding the calm waters of the lake, hikers will likely be able to spot the various bird species that call the area home. Made up largely of sidewalks and a boardwalk, this is an easy hike that can be utilized by hikers of every skill level.

    Route Description for Florence Lake

    More of an urban nature walk than a true hike, the Florence Lake Hike is a fun route that will provide you with some nice scenery and wildlife viewing opportunities without even leaving the city. Setting out from the trailhead, make your way along the boardwalk that borders the southern edge of the lake and take some time to appreciate the natural beauty of the area. Continue along the trail as it meets up with Florence Lake Road and follow it north for some more views along the eastern edge of the lake. After reaching the end of the trail, head back along the same route to enjoy the views on your way to the trailhead where you began.

    Getting to the Florence Lake Trailhead

    To reach the Florence Lake trailhead from Langford, head north on BC-14 for 1.2 km and continue straight onto Millstream Road. After 210 m, turn left on McCallum Road and follow it for 2.0 km. Turn right on Savory Road and the trailhead will be on your right in 110 m.
