    Must Visit
    Out of all of the provincial parks I have been to this one ranks in the top 3 and quite possibly holds the #1 spot. The shorelines of the east, west and northern tip are all different and make for a unique experience. The trails are well-trodden natural (not what I would call mobile-assist friendly). There are benches strategically placed for walkers that may need a break during travel.

    This can be the best boat trip ever
    Take a fishing trip out to the islands. You'll catch fish, see eagles and they will take any of your fish you care to throw back! Whales Orcars, Sea Lions, Sea Otters and Dolphins. You add to that an unspoiled and picturesque landscape and yo

    Steep climb, but amazing views from the top.
    We climbed in the morning when it was cooler; the walk took us about 2 hours return and was very enjoyable. It was very quiet, we met one couple on our ascent. The view from the top are well worth the effort of the climb, which can be quite steep in part.

    Lovely, Easy Hike
    Morte Lake is a really beautiful hike that is pretty easy - about 6 mi. altogether, mostly flat but there are a lot of rocks and roots so you have to pay attention; very serene and the environment very untouched.Unfortunately, the day we went there was smoke from some fires in WA and BC which may have kept some people away, but it did not change the beauty of the hike. We only saw two people the entire time we were there. We felt very accomplished when we finished and headed to Herriot Bay Inn and had a beer and burger in the pub there which was a great way to celebrate the hike!

    Off the Beaten Track
    Access this park, dock and hiking trails by gravel roads actively traveled by logging trucks. The roads are narrow and wind so visibility is sometimes very limited. Drive slowly and use caution. We drove to the Surge Narrows Trail which is fairly challenging as it is narrow and overgrown, sometimes difficult to find and it requires some climbing over and around obstacles and up and down hills. Someone hung a pair of crutches over the sign at the trails entrance. Quite funny! The trail provides some scenic views out over Surge Narrows but most of it is bush wacking. The road down to the boat ramp is very steep - you need 4WD to use it.

    Beautiful, Relaxing Place to Anchor
    The Islands are reached by boat and there are several places to drop a hook. We chose Waiatt Bay. There were about 20 boats and we all had plenty of room to swing. Our favorite dingy trip was to the abandoned cabin where hundreds of boaters have left "artwork". Most creations are carved or written on driftwood and then are carefully hung throughout the windowless and doorless cabin. There is also a notebook to sign with comments. It's a special place and we're happy the owners of this island allow the art creations to continue.
    We also did a hike in the marine park. The trail is well marked and goes all the way to a lake. Since the tide was rising and the bugs were biting, we only went to a small lake and then hiked back to our dinghy. We saw one skipper swimming out to his dinghy, but we were able to wade to ours since we'd selected a shallower landing spot. The Octopus Islands are definitely worth a visit!
