Mount Benson

Overlooking the City of Nanaimo, the 211 ha MBRP straddles the upper north-east slopes of Mount Benson and features rough mountainous terrain ranging from 457 m to 1,006 m above sea level. Views from the park are panoramic: look out over Nanaimo to the Strait of Georgia and the mainland beyond or feast your eyes on the peaks of central Vancouver Island’s highland mountains. The entrance for the Mount Benson hike will be at Witchcraft Lake, off of Benson View Road.
