Hiking

One hiking trail leads from the parking lot to the viewpoint. This trail is approximately 1.5 km one way with an average walking time is 25 minutes. The viewpoint at the end of the trail offers spectacular views of Baynes Sound and the Chrome Island Lighthouse. Seals, sea lions, bald eagles, osprey and a variety of seabirds can also be spotted in this area.

For your own safety and the preservation of the park, obey posted signs and keep to designated trails. Shortcutting trails destroys plant life and soil structure. Please use caution around cliff areas along the trail.

Wildlife viewing
A viewpoint is located approximately 1.5 km from the parking lot at the end of the trail at Boyle Point. Visitors will be rewarded with spectacular views of Baynes Sound and the Chrome Island Lighthouse. From here, it is also possible to see seals and sea lions, bald eagles, osprey and a variety of seabirds.
Pets on leash

Pets and domestic animals must be on a leash and under control at all times. You are responsible for their behaviour and must dispose of their excrement. Backcountry areas are not suitable for dogs or other pets due to wildlife issues and the potential for problems with bears.

Cycling

Cycling is permitted on roadways only. A bike rack is located at the parking lot. Bicycle helmets are mandatory in British Columbia.

Please note that bicycles with electric assist motors (e-bikes) are not allowed on the trails within Boyle Point Park. E-bikes are restricted to park roads and areas where motorized use is permitted. The only exception to this policy will be for authorized and identified trail maintenance bikes conducting work on behalf of BC Parks.
