About this Park
Carmanah Walbran protects one of the last intact valleys of old-growth forest on Vancouver Island. Towering Sitka spruce and western red cedar create a cathedral-like canopy.
The park is a destination for those seeking a true wilderness experience — rugged access roads and primitive trails reward visitors with unforgettable forest scenery.
