Getting there
The Whiskey Creek recreation area is located just off Melrose Rd. at Whiskey Creek, in the Qualicum area.
As you drive up Melrose Rd, stay to the right at the fork. You’ll find the staging area a little further up, on your right. Please drive slowly and responsibly through up Melrose, as this is a residential neighbourhood.
There is an informational sign board at staging, which is the start of a trailhead. There are numerous trails here for you to ride.
