Copeland Islands Marine Provincial Park

The archipelago contains four main islands and fourteen islets spread across 437 hectares, forming a protection zone for the Thulin Passage between Discovery Islands and Desolation Sound.

British Columbia established this marine park in 1971 to safeguard coastal ecosystems, incorporating 153 hectares of upland territory and 278 hectares of foreshore areas.

The marine park presents opportunities for visitors to experience traditional Pacific Northwest activities like kayaking, wildlife observation, and shellfish gathering in designated areas.

Access to the park requires watercraft, with most visitors launching from Lund Harbour or Okeover Harbour Government Dock, while camping is permitted at eleven designated sites.

The waters surrounding the islands contain numerous oyster beds, and visitors may collect the empty shells as natural souvenirs while following conservation guidelines.
