Itinerary description

Officially the "Lazo Marsh North East Comox Conservation Area" and what is locally referred to as the "Northeast Woods" is a second growth forest and open wetlands with walking and cycling trails crisscrossing the forested part of 71 hectares (175 acres) of a contiguous plot of undeveloped land. More information on this park area is available on the brochure and trail map published here: https://www.comoxvalleyrd.ca/sites/default/files/docs/Parks-Recreation/4lazomarsh_brochure_201703.pdf .

A gentle and mostly flat loop trail (in red on the linked map) follows roughly the outside of the forested park area and this GPS trail follows that loop. The Lazo Park wetlands has only one loop trail accessed from another parking area and is not seen along this route. This route begins and ends at the Torrence Road parking area.

Waypoints

Parking Area at the north End of Torrence Road

There is parking here for 30-40 cars. The closest cross-street is Guthrie Road, a major thoroughfare that runs east-west across central northern Comox.

Typical Trail View

Park Maps ever couple hundred meters

Park maps on podiums like this one are placed every several hundred meters or more. Your position is marked with a silver screw through the map. The trail is well-signed for the most part, especially in the south and east.

Intersection

Several of the well-positioned and visible trail posts are pictured along this route. There are at least twice as many that have not been photographed and located along this route. Most look like this one.
