Ruckle Provincial Park, Provincial park in Salt Spring Island, Canada.

Ruckle Provincial Park is a coastal park on Salt Spring Island featuring rocky headlands, sheltered bays, and stretches of forest. The landscape includes walking trails, camping areas, and shoreline access with varied habitats for wildlife observation.

The land was settled by the Ruckle family in 1872, who lived there for generations before donating their property to BC Parks in 1972. Official designation as a provincial park came in 1974, transforming private farmland into public recreational space.

The park takes its name from the Ruckle family, whose sheep farm founded in the late 1800s is partly protected within its boundaries. Visitors can walk among the farm's original buildings and see the working sheep operation that continues on the land.

The campground, the largest provincial one on the Gulf Islands, sits on the shoreline; campers reach it on foot, carrying gear from the parking area. Trails run through forest and along the coast, and the terrain near the park rises to about 67 metres. The nearest larger settlement is North Saanich, roughly 13 km to the south.

The park holds the largest provincial campground in the Gulf Islands, and part of a sheep farm founded by the Ruckle family is protected within its boundaries. The farm was established in the late 1800s, and the family later gave the land to BC Parks.
