Elk Falls Provincial Park

Elk Falls Provincial Park is a protected area on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, at the east end of John Hart Lake near Campbell River. Established in 1940, it preserves Elk Falls and the surrounding canyon, which remain its main attraction. Hydroelectric development changed the falls significantly after the John Hart Dam and Generating Station were completed in 1947 and later dams upstream further diverted water for power production, reducing the flow over the waterfall. In 2015, a suspension bridge across the canyon added a dramatic viewpoint into the gorge and toward the falls. The park remains a popular destination for sightseeing.
