Rollo McClay Park to Orlebar Point or Twin Beaches Walk

GaLLT Walk —Rollo McClay Park to Orlebar Point or Twin Beaches (up to 10 km return)

You can retrace your steps at any point on this walk—your distance varies, with longest return 10 km. Park at Rollo McClay Park or at Rollo Road and Horseshoe Road.

Turn left along Horseshoe Road to Daniel Way and continue for about 1 km, watching for TRAIL sign on the left. Follow the flagged trail straight up the hill through dense trees. It is steep in places and slippery when wet. Pause at the stunning view over Lock Bay and mainland mountains. The trail emerges on Chelwood, where you proceed straight ahead to Norwich.

A right turn down the hill brings you to Berry Point Road, where you can turn right to Orlebar Point or left toward Twin Beaches (Gabriola Sands Provincial Park) along Berry Point Road.

When returning down Chelwood, look for and follow TRAIL sign on left. Do not follow gravel road beyond this point (private property).
