More than a bump in the river, Sooke's signature Potholes a summer Island staple

Sooke Potholes Provincial Park features polished rock pools formed by glacial action around 15,000 years ago along the Sooke River in British Columbia.
The park land includes remnants of a failed 1980s resort project that was abandoned after it ran out of funding and was eventually taken over by the park in 2004.
The area serves as an important wildlife corridor supporting black bears and elk and is popular for swimming, fishing, picnicking, and wildlife watching from late spring through fall.
The park was officially created in 1972 by government decree, and the Sooke River is recognized as a key spawning habitat for coho salmon, offering catch-and-release fishing opportunities within the park.
The park’s natural and recreational value suggests it remains an attractive destination that balances wildlife habitat preservation with public enjoyment.
