LocationJedediah Island Marine Provincial Park is located between Lasqueti and Texada islands in the Sabine Channel of Georgia Strait, off central Vancouver Island. You can reach the park by boat from nearby Lasqueti Island. You can get to Lasqueti via French Creek near Parksville. Outdoor Activities There are about 3.5 km of walking trails, which cross the island and connect the secluded bays. The main trail leads through old-growth forest to a field and links up with trails on the other side of the field. Shortcutting trails destroys plant life and soil structure. Picnicking The field is a suitable picnic area. There are no tables but there are pit toilets located near the popular anchorages. Remove all traces when you are finished. Camping This park is accessible by boat only. Random camping is allowed, although there are no developed sites and no facilities are provided other than pit toilets. Please practice Leave No Trace camping ethics. This park is open year round; there is no fee for winter camping. FiresWhile fires are allowed, we encourage visitors to conserve the environment by minimizing the use of fire and using stoves instead. Campfires must be below the high tide mark. Please be careful with fires and refrain from having fires on windy days. Utilize previously constructed fire rings if possible and use small pieces of driftwood that will burn completely. Never leave your fire unattended. Nearby Parks Rathtrevor Provincial Park in Parksville is the closest park.
