Mount Maxwell Provincial Park, Provincial park on Salt Spring Island, Canada
Mount Maxwell Provincial Park spans 231 hectares of protected land on the western shores of Salt Spring Island in British Columbia.
The park, established in 1938, was initially named Mount Baynes by Admiralty surveyor George Henry Richards before receiving its current name in 1911.
The Capital Regional District manages this natural space while maintaining engagement with First Nations communities to preserve their connection to the land.
Visitors can reach the 580-meter summit via gravel road or hiking trails that begin from the northeast section or Burgoyne Bay Provincial Park.
The mountain top at Baynes Peak provides views extending across Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, and the mainland of British Columbia.
