Strathcona Provincial Park, Provincial park in Comox Valley Regional District, Canada.

Mountain peaks, lakes, alpine meadows, and dense forests spread across 250,000 hectares of wilderness in central Vancouver Island.

The British Columbia government established this protected area in 1911, making it the first provincial park in British Columbia and the largest on Vancouver Island.

The Forbidden Plateau section carries indigenous stories of spirits that influenced local First Nations communities to avoid traveling through specific territories.

Visitors can access year-round camping facilities at Buttle Lake and Ralph River, with opportunities for hiking, swimming, fishing, and mountain climbing.

Della Falls drops 440 meters in three cascades, making it the highest waterfall in Canada, fed by mountain glaciers and alpine streams.
