Mitlenatch Island Nature Provincial Park, Provincial nature park on an island in Strait of Georgia, Canada.
The 155-hectare protected area includes 36 hectares of upland territory and 119 hectares of foreshore extending 300 meters from the shore.
British Columbia purchased Mitlenatch Island from the Manson family estate in 1959, establishing it as a Provincial Nature Park in 1961.
The name Mitlenatch originates from Coast Salish First Nations language, translating to 'calm waters all around' in reference to its location.
Access to the park requires a boat, with only one trail from Camp Bay to Northwest Bay open to visitors due to protected bird habitats.
The park contains the largest seabird colony in the Strait of Georgia, hosting 3,000 pairs of Glaucous-winged gulls during nesting season.
