Main Lake Provincial Park
This provincial park in Surge Narrows provides a quiet outdoor space for nature walks and relaxation.
About Main Lake Provincial Park
Just a short ferry ride east of Campbell River, a network of freshwater lakes cuts through the limestone and forested hills of Quadra Island. Paddlers navigate the waters of Village Bay, Mine, and Main lakes, carrying canoes and kayaks over short portage trails. The area protects old-growth Douglas fir and provides habitat for diverse wildlife.
Operating as a backcountry destination, Main Lake Provincial Park has no vehicle access to its interior campsites. Visitors park near the entry points and paddle in to claim rustic spots along the shoreline. The site remains open twenty-four hours a day, though summer brings the warmest water temperatures for swimming.
