Current notices from the source
Follow 'no anchoring' buoys and signs to protect eelgrass beds — Desolation Sound Marine Park is home to eelgrass habitats that play a crucial role in supporting marine biodiversity. To further our understanding of biodiversity recovery in the region, we are monitoring eelgrass beds with valuable support from the Tla'amin, Klahoose, and Hamalco Nations, and the University of British Columbia. To study these vital habitats, small area closures are in place, marked by ‘no anchoring’ buoys. Around Williams Island, boaters must not anchor in the areas delineated by the ‘no anchoring’ buoys. At Copplestone Island, anchoring is not permitted between the buoys. Our study also includes annual eelgrass monitoring to assess the potential recovery of the eelgrass beds, and evaluate the effectiveness
No campfires permitted — Due to dry windy conditions and the risk of soil erosion, campfires are not permitted anywhere within Desolation Sound Marine Park.
Partial trail closures within Prideaux Haven Anchorage — Portions of established trails within Prideaux Haven Anchorage including the Viewpoint Trail and Melanie Cove Beach Trail are now closed off for recreational use due to ecological restoration. Please respect all signs and fencing identifying closure areas.
Ecological restoration - prohibition on stern tying within Prideaux Haven Anchorage — Stern tying vessels to trees, rocks or other natural objects is prohibited on Scobell and South Williams Islands within Prideaux Haven Anchorage.

Facilities as published
- Desolation Sound Marine Park does not have its own boat launch. Okeover Harbour government dock , next to Okeover Arm Park , offers a boat launch with limited free parking. Launching here is only recommended at high tide with four-wheel drive vehicles. Lund Harbour offers a boat launch with private pay parking. Small boating closure areas, marked by ‘no anchoring’ buoys, are in place to protect crucial eelgrass bed habitats.
- Pit toilets are located at Prideaux Haven, Grace Harbor, Tenedos Bay, Curme Islands, Bold Head, Hare Point, Feather Cove, Copeland Islands, and Melanie Cove. There are no flush toilets. Many of the outhouses throughout Desolation Sound are an open-air-privy design. Bring your own toilet paper. Outhouses in Desolation Sound have above-ground pump-out tanks. Due to the shallow soils and potential for exposing cultural features buried in the ground, digging traditional outhouse holes is not possible. Please do not put garbage in the outhouse tanks. They are for human waste only.

Experience & practicality
Two transparent read-time scores. Unknown facts never count for or against a place, and a score is never used as filter evidence.
Experience
Published recreation and setting.
6.3/ 10
Documented depth: 10 of 16 evidence weight, from 5 published facts. A low number means little is published, not that the place is poor.
Why
- Hiking
- Fishing
- Kayaking / canoeing
- Swimming
- Hunting
Practicality
Published logistics: access, cost, facilities.
—/ 10
Not enough data. Only 2 relevant facts have been published for this record, so no score is shown rather than an invented one.
Why
- Cost is published
- Pets allowed
Partially supported: only one of the two dimensions has enough published evidence, so this record is not presented or ranked as the equal of a fully documented one.
Methodology nmr-score-3.0.0. Park-level activities feed Experience only; campsite facts feed Practicality only. Experience measures how much recreation and setting evidence is published; Practicality is the published positive share scaled by how much of the logistics catalogue has been documented, so a handful of positives can no longer read 10/10. Unknown is never treated as a no. Neither dimension is used to filter search results, and “Best” ordering ranks fully supported records above partially supported ones.
