| Location: On Highway 4, about 20 minutes or 21 km West of Port Alberni Description: Taylor Arm Provincial Park is composed of two separate parcels of woodland along Sproat Lake. It is primarily a day-use park. But it does have a good sized group campground in the bigger and more eastern of the two parcels. It is big enough for 6 groups and comes equipped with a hand pump for water and pit toilets. Although the camping area is above the highway, there is a trail down to the lake through an underpass. At the lake there is a nice gravel beach. The second parcel is almost 2 km west of the main entrance to the park. It is exclusively a day use area used primarily by locals for swimming and boating at the gravel beach. The nearest public boat launch, however, is at Sproat Lake Provincial Park some distance back toward Port Alberni. Both these parcels are preferred over Sproat Lake Provincial Park because of the absence of "swimmer's itch", a mildly irritating rash that disappears without treatment.
