South Texada Island Provincial Park, provincial park in British Columbia, Canada

South Texada Island Provincial Park protects about 900 hectares on the southwest side of Texada Island in British Columbia, along the Sabine Channel of the Strait of Georgia. The park runs roughly 7.5 km north to south and varies from a few hundred metres to over 2 km wide. Mount Shepherd, at 887 m the island's highest point, and Cathedral Lake, the park's only larger lake, lie in its northeast part.

The area was settled around 5,000 years ago and served as a crossing point through Georgia Strait. After Spanish exploration in 1791 and naming by explorer Felix de Tejada, the island became a mining center for copper, gold, and limestone in the late 1800s and early 1900s, which later declined.

The park sits on traditional territory of several Indigenous Nations, including the Tla'amin, shishalh, K'ómoks, and Wei Wai Kum, who have lived here for thousands of years. BC Parks works with these communities to share their stories and teach about their ongoing connection to the land.

You reach the park best by boat or ferry from Powell River, as no direct roads go there. Bring your own supplies and plan your route ahead since the park has no facilities like shops or restaurants.

The park is a day-use area with no campsites or other visitor facilities, so Cathedral Lake is not an official campground. Mount Shepherd, at 887 m the highest point on all of Texada Island, rises in the park's northeast, and Cathedral Lake is its only larger lake.
