Location:
On Highway 4, about 15 minutes or 16 km east of Port Alberni
and 30 km West of Parksville. The highway bisects
MacMillan Park (or Cathedral Grove) and lies on the western
shore of Cameron Lake.
Description:
Macmillan Provincial Park is one of the most popular parks
in British Columbia. It is the home of Cathedral Grove, one of
the most famous groves of large trees in the world. Although a
wind storm substantially damaged the grove in 1997, it remains a
fine example of northern temperate old growth forest. There are
several walking trails through the park. All are very flat and
easy to move around on.
There is a small parking lot on each side of the highway that is
very congested at times, especially in the summer. Please use
caution when entering or leaving the parking area.
Apart from a poorly maintained outhouse, there are no other
facilities in the park. It is intended for day use only.
