Park overview
The steep, rocky shoreline of South Texada Park makes access by boat very difficult.
Anderson Bay Provincial Park is a separate parcel located on South Texada’s eastern shore. It provides well-protected anchorage from all sides except the southeast. The small island and peninsula are included in the park, but the head of the bay is private land.
Black-tailed deer, birds and intertidal life can all be found in the park.
South Texada Island has many old roads that are suitable for mountain biking and hiking. This park has opportunities for fishing, kayaking and hiking. However, there are no camping facilities or other services provided at this park.
Established Date: July 28, 1997
