Mount Maxwell Park offers stunning views from its lookout point, Baynes Peak. It's a fabulous spot to get a sense of Salt Spring Island and it's surroundings.

Here you can enjoy old-growth forests, meadows, and creeks while taking in panoramic vistas of Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, and the mainland.

There isn't much of a hike here, which is rare for a summit view like this one!

But note that the road to the viewpoint is extremely rough (and keeps getting worse every year). You will need a 4WD vehicle with high clearance in order to access it.
