The park is located on the west coast of
Vancouver Island and encompasses the lower
Clayoquot River,
Clayoquot Lake and the forested slopes northest of the Clayoquot Arm of Kennedy Lake. It contains almost 3500 hectares.
It is notable for the rare old growth forests of Sitka spruce in the Clayoquot Lake and lower Clayoquot River areas, and for the excellent salmon spawning conditions in Clayoquot River. An unusual phenomenon occurs in Clayoquot Arm, where sockeye salmon spawn 20 metres below the surface. The park is a wilderness area and has no developed facilities.
This is just one of hundreds of British Columbia Provincial Parks.
