Sooke Potholes Provincial Park is managed by BC Parks and covers a section of the area along the Sooke River. Sooke Potholes Regional Park is managed by the Capital Regional District (CRD) and includes additional trails, viewpoints, and parking areas. The two parks are adjacent and often referred to together as Sooke Potholes.

This is a beautiful and unique destination, known for its crystal-clear pools, cascading waterfalls, and smooth rock formations. These deep, naturally carved potholes were shaped over thousands of years by glacial erosion, creating perfect swimming holes surrounded by lush forest. This is a popular destination for hiking, swimming, and sightseeing.

The park is also home to the abandoned Deertrail Resort ruins. The former Deer Trail Resort was originally planned as a luxury getaway with over 200 rooms, pools, spas, and in-house shopping and overlooking the falls. However, the developers ran out of funding, and the project was abandoned before completion. In 2004, the land was acquired as parkland, and the unfinished structures were demolished, leaving behind only the concrete foundation of the primary lodge. The lodge site once offered some of the best views of the falls, but today, the area is fenced off and officially inaccessible. However, the extensive graffiti covering the remains suggests that some visitors continue to ignore the restrictions.
