Dildo Run Provincial Park, Provincial park in Virgin Arm, Canada
Dildo Run Provincial Park spreads across 328 hectares on New World Island, with camping areas and hiking trails following the coastal line. The landscape features rocky inlets, forested sections, and direct views of the water throughout the park grounds.
The park was established in 1978 by the Department of Environment and Conservation as part of efforts to protect this coastal region. This occurred during a period when Canada's provinces were creating protected areas to preserve natural spaces.
The park serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors experience the rugged character of the Atlantic coast together. Walking here connects you directly to maritime life and the way people relate to these windswept landscapes.
The park has 55 campsites with comfort stations, drinking water, and electrical hookups available from June through mid-September. Weather can change quickly here, so bring layers and plan activities with the coastal climate in mind.
The park sits in Iceberg Alley, where icebergs from Greenland drift down Atlantic currents and become visible from the shoreline during the season. Whales also visit these waters to feed, making both sights possible from the coastal vantage points.
