Wakes Cove Provincial Park, Provincial park in Cowichan Valley, Canada.

Wakes Cove Provincial Park encompasses 205 hectares of coastal terrain on Valdes Island, featuring natural shorelines and dense forest sections.

The park bears the name of Captain Baldwin Wake, a British naval officer who purchased land in the area in 1876 and disappeared while sailing.

The coastal regions of the park contain evidence of Indigenous peoples who maintained deep connections to these lands for thousands of years.

The park requires boat access and visitors need to bring all supplies as there are no facilities available within the protected area.

Marine Chart #3475 marks this secluded park location, where coastal waters provide habitats for numerous marine species and waterfowl.

Location: Cowichan Valley Regional District
