About Jingle Pot, Nanaimo, BC

North Jingle Pot is one of the more rural areas of Nanaimo, located in the beautiful valley at the foot of Mount Benson. Residents of North Jingle Pot appreciate the proximity to Mount Benson’s excellent hiking and the views out over the Coast Mountains and the Strait of Georgia that the mountain’s summit provides. North Jingle Pot is within easy reach of the solid shopping options in the North End of Nanaimo and a direct ten-minute drive to downtown. This mix of rural living on large lots with convenient city amenities is a central selling point of calling North Jingle Pot home. 

South Jingle Pot is located near the base of Mount Benson and is slightly less rural. It’s more development than North Jingle Pot and closer to the downtown area and the University District. The South Jingle Pot neighbourhood is relatively small and consists of the Jingle Pot Pub, Westwood Lake, and the power station. The Nanaimo Parkway runs directly through the Jingle Pot neighbourhoods, creating an easy link to Nanaimo’s surrounding areas and nearby communities and cities on Vancouver Island. North and South Jingle Pot are attractive options for buyers looking for properties in a rural environment that allow access to city convenience. 

Things to Do in Jingle Pot

North and South Jingle Pot have several green spaces, and getting outdoors and enjoying the beautiful nature all around is one of the top local pastimes for residents of these neighbourhoods. Mount Benson Regional Park has over two hundred hectares of forest and rugged hiking trails, accessible by old logging paths that crisscross the park. One particularly popular trail is the Mount Benson Loop, over 7 km long. It’s a moderately difficult hike—especially in the wetter months when the path can become slippery—but the views from the top are certainly worth the effort. 

Within the Benson Creek Falls, Regional Park is the excellent Ammonite Falls trail which features a relatively simple 5 km hike with a big-time payoff at the end, with its beautiful roaring waterfall. The trail is well-maintained and offers the soothing sight of large old trees and the calming sound of distant rushing water.

In the foothills of Mount Benson is yet another popular outdoor destination—Westwood Lake Park. This park has a popular 5 km path beloved by the neighbourhood’s running and hiking enthusiasts. Shorter trail segments are also available for those short on time. In the summer months, Westwood Lake Park has a swimming area that’s lifeguard-patrolled, and there is also a dog park nearby.
