Flowing through dense coastal forest near the southern edge of Vancouver Island, the Sooke River is known for its clear water, moss covered banks and important salmon spawning runs in autumn. Along quieter sections of the river, the current slows into calm pools beneath towering cedar and fir trees, while other areas narrow into faster moving channels over smooth rock. The river corridor supports a wide range of wildlife, including bald eagles, herons and spawning salmon during seasonal migrations.
