The Driftwood Marine Park Trail is a scenic, well-defined path that winds through Driftwood Park (often referred to as Driftwood Marine Park).
Running along Clarkson Avenue and Driftwood Road in the Saratoga Beach area of Vancouver Island, this multi-use trail serves as a vital community connector linking local residential areas directly with Miracle Beach Provincial Park.
Managed by the Comox Valley Regional District, the active trail system features bike-friendly bridges, a statutory right-of-way that links seamlessly to Driftwood Road, and built-in bat houses designed to naturally manage the local mosquito population.
The short, easy route is ideal for walking, cycling, birding, and nature appreciation, showcasing two beautiful and distinct ecosystems: a second-growth Douglas-fir forest and a brackish salt marsh.
Visitors can take advantage of a dedicated wildlife viewing platform that overlooks the intertidal marsh, though dogs must be kept strictly on-leash while near the platform.
While the rest of the park permits optional leashing for well-controlled dogs, the trail remains a quiet, peaceful sanctuary reserved exclusively for foot traffic and cyclists—horses are not permitted.
