Lantzville Foothills
A series of gravel logging roads and twisting deer trails make up the Lantzville Foothills. This area is not so appropriately named hills, but more like small mountains. One of the hills on the Benson side with an elevation of 320m above sea level, provides a view of Nanaimo, Mount Benson and the forest surrounding. The hill on the ocean side with a slightly taller elevation of 330m, has a view of North Nanaimo, Nanoose and the Winchelsea Islands as well as a clear view across to Vancouver. Both main hills can be climbed in under a couple hours for a short day hike, located on Harwood Rd, near the end of Aulds Rd.
