History[edit]
Little Qualicum Falls Provincial Park was originally established as a park in 1940[2] to protect the old growth Douglas Fir forest.
Activities[edit]
Swimming, fishing, campgrounds and day-use areas are available within the park, as well as sail boarding due to a wind funnel created by the surrounding mountains, Mount Wesley to the north and Mount Arrowsmith to the south. The park maintains 6 km of walking trails within its perimeter. 49°19′00″N 124°33′00″W / 49.316667°N 124.55°W[3]
