Mount Parke Regional Park

Regional Park
Southern Gulf Islands

Located on Mayne Island in the Gulf Islands, this park is a great spot to enjoy nature. Mount Parke features beautiful views, forest walks, birdwatching, and spring wildflowers.

Follow the winding woodland trail through a forest filled with Western Red Cedar and Red Alder, along with giant sword ferns and Oregon grape. Listen for the sounds of ravens overhead and watch for bald eagles and turkey vultures soaring in the sky.

The trail leads to the ridge, offering panoramic views of the land and sea below. In spring, you can see wildflowers like blue-eyed Mary, early saxifrage, and spring gold blooming on the slopes.
