Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Kennedy Lake Provincial Park adventure.
Discover the natural splendor of Kennedy Lake Provincial Park.
If you’re looking for a lake beach, Kennedy Lake Provincial Park is a nice spot between Port Alberni and Tofino. Come for a day of swimming, wildlife viewing, fishing, kayaking, or windsurfing in summer—just keep in mind that wind can whip up with little warning here so extreme caution is recommended. In fall, you can see the annual beach spawning of sockeye salmon and perhaps glimpse black bears. The park comprises two sites along the south shore of the lake, adjacent to Pacific Rim National Park Reserve on the west coast of Vancouver Island.Facilities are limited, with just a small picnic area, pit toilets, and a rustic boat launch.
The prime time to visit Kennedy Lake Provincial Park is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and the park is in full bloom. Conversely, the off-peak season, particularly from November to February, can present challenges with cooler temperatures and limited access to some areas of the park.
