Quadra Island BC has 16 developed hiking trails, varying from short to long, from flat to steep, from oceanside to deep in the rainforest to overlooking panoramic vistas. Thanks to hard working and dedicated volunteers, the trails are maintained and developed every season. To support this non-profit organization, buy a Quadra Island Hiking Trail Map for sale for $2 at the Tourism Office near the Credit Union, and at the grocery stores.

Visitors are surprised at how quiet Quadra Island hiking trails can be; sometimes, you won't meet anyone else on your whole hike! That's partly because there are so many hikes to choose from.
