Little Qualicum Falls Provincial Park

Little Qualicum Falls Provincial Park is a nature reserve in the Nanaimo region featuring waterfalls and forest sections along the Little Qualicum River. The area spans 440 hectares and contains natural pools, old-growth trees, and riverbanks suitable for walking and observation.

The park was established in 1940 to protect old-growth Douglas Fir forests and the river valley in British Columbia. This action preserved an important wooded landscape in the region for future generations.

The park's network of trails connects visitors to multiple viewpoints, offering opportunities for nature photography and environmental education throughout the seasons.

The location offers several walking trails of varying lengths, a campground, and picnic areas with access to drinking water. The best time to visit is during the warmer months when all facilities are open.

The river sections host a rare trout population uncommon in this part of Canada. These fish are visible beneath the water's surface and make the location noteworthy for nature watchers.
