Stamp River Provincial Park

Stamp River Provincial Park extends across 327 hectares featuring forest trails, waterfall viewpoints, and salmon-filled rivers within the Vancouver Island landscape.

The fish ladder system, initially constructed by manual labor in 1927 and reconstructed in 1955, facilitates salmon migration through advanced monitoring mechanisms.

The park received its name from Edward Stamp, who established the first sawmill in Port Alberni, marking the region's connection to British Columbia's forestry heritage.

Twenty-three vehicle-accessible campsites operate year-round with fees collected from April to October, providing basic amenities including pit toilets and freshwater access.

From late August through December, three salmon species navigate the river in sequence: Sockeye arrive first, followed by Coho and Chinook salmon.
