Sproat Lake Provincial Park

Sproat Lake Provincial Park is a small park on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, west of Port Alberni, occupying 39 hectares along Sproat Lake. It is a popular recreation area with swimming, boating, camping, a boat launch, and a small beach. The lake was named for Gilbert Malcolm Sproat, a 19th-century entrepreneur and colonial official. A key feature is K’ak’awin, a lakeside panel of prehistoric petroglyphs carved into shoreline rock and showing mythological figures. The area lies within the traditional territory of the Hupacasath First Nation. With 58 vehicle-accessible campsites, it combines cultural significance with easy lakeside access.
