South Texada Island Park

Highlights in this park

South Texada Island has many old roads that are suitable for mountain biking and hiking. This park has opportunities for fishing, kayaking and hiking. However, there are no camping facilities or other services provided at this park.

The steep, rocky shoreline of South Texada Park makes access by boat very difficult. Anderson Bay Park is a separate parcel located on South Texada’s eastern shore. It provides well-protected anchorage from all sides except the southeast. The small island and peninsula are included in the park, but the head of the bay is private land.
