Over the weekend, I went for a walk on the part of the galloping goose trail the is beside Matheson Lake. The trail is excellent for running, walking, and biking as it is paved the whole time. There is an additional trail the goes around the lake that is more of a hike, but is also beauftiful.
There are a lot of benches along the trail to take a rest, and the lake is an excellent place to swim in the summer.
Matheson Lake is out in Mitchosen, so it is a bit of a drive, however, it is definitely worth the commute. It is a great walk to go on if you want to put a podcast on, and just focus on the scenery as the path itself is super flat.
Below I have linked the directions to Matheson Lake from UVIC!
