Sproat Lake Provincial Park
Sproat Lake Provincial Park, Provincial park on Vancouver Island, Canada
The park spans 0.43 square kilometers of natural terrain along Sproat Lake, featuring swimming areas, boat launches, and forested hiking trails.
Gilbert Malcolm Sproat, a Scottish entrepreneur who arrived on Vancouver Island in 1860, established industrial operations that influenced the region's development.
The K'ak'awin petroglyph panel near the lakeshore contains prehistoric rock carvings that represent figures from indigenous mythology and traditions.
Located 15 kilometers west of Port Alberni on Highway 4, the park provides 58 vehicle-accessible campsites and operates from April through October.
The park serves as a base for Coulson Flying Tankers, which operates Martin Mars water bombers that collect water from Sproat Lake for firefighting missions.
