Quatsino Provincial Park

Quatsino Provincial Park lies on Quatsino Sound at the northern end of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, about 50 kilometres west of Port Hardy. Established on July 12, 1995, the 654-hectare park remains largely undeveloped and is reached by rough logging roads or by boat. It protects some of the area’s largest old-growth trees, as well as small lakes, Koprino Harbour, and the Koprino River estuary. The estuary provides important fish-rearing and waterfowl habitat, and the park also supports a high concentration of nesting and feeding bald eagles. Recreation focuses on marine-access backcountry travel, including kayaking, canoeing, hiking, camping, fishing, and hunting.
