Jedediah Island Marine Park

Jedediah Island Marine Park is located between Lasqueti and Texada Islands in the Sabine Channel of Georgia Strait, off central Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast. Access to the park is by boat from nearby Lasqueti Island. Nearby communities include: Texada Island, Lasqueti Island, French Creek, Parksville and Secret Cove.

It is the largest and most diverse of a chain of more than 30 islands and rocky islets located north and west of Lasqueti Island. The interior of Jedediah is comprised of forest ecosystems where you will see a variety of mature tree species, including Douglas fir and arbutus, intermingled with rocky outcrops. In several areas evidence of previous human settlements are evident. A rich marine environment encircles Jedediah Island, which offers secluded bays and coves for safer harbour.

Jedediah’s isolation and tranquility make it an excellent destination for kayaking and wilderness camping. Some of the best camping areas are Long Bay and Sand Beach. Small bays on the east side of the island provide campers with a little more privacy, especially during the summer at the height of kayaking-touring season, when the island can get quite busy.

Surface water is extremely limited in this park, so be sure to bring drinking water with you. Any water found in streams in the park must be boiled, treated or filtered prior to consumption.

Please practise "Leave No Trace" camping ethics.
