Koksilah River Provincial Park, Provincial park in Cowichan Valley, Canada

Koksilah River Provincial Park is a protected forest area covering about 230 hectares alongside the Koksilah River on southern Vancouver Island. The park features natural trails and several river viewpoints that showcase the water from different perspectives along the landscape.

Koksilah River Provincial Park was established in 1954 at 303 acres (about 122.6 hectares) and was enlarged to its current 230 hectares when its boundaries were last changed in 2004. The original Burnt Bridge, built in 1865, was destroyed in a forest fire; the present gated metal bridge is the third structure and has been rebuilt twice.

The park's name comes from the Koksilah River, and the river crossing known as Burnt Bridge recalls a structure first built in 1865 and destroyed by forest fire, then rebuilt twice. The gated metal bridge is a local landmark, and the Kinsol Trestle stands just east of the park.

The park is accessible via Shawnigan Lake Road, which branches from Trans-Canada Highway 1 near Mill Bay and connects to Renfrew Road. Trails throughout the grounds allow visitors to explore the forest and riverbanks at their own pace.

The park's main section borders Hwsalu-utsum Provincial Park directly to the north, and a smaller detached portion lies about two kilometres southwest of the main body. The Kinsol Trestle, a large free-standing wooden railway trestle, stands just east of the park.
