Park Info
The Megin-Talbot addition to Strathcona Provincial Park contains the largest undisturbed watershed on Vancouver Island, karst limestone geography, old-growth forests and salmon habitat. Located in the northeast portion of Clayoquot Sound on the west coast of Vancouver Island, the Megin-Talbot addition was identified for protection in the Clayoquot Sound Land-Use Decision in 1995.
The Megin River supports salmon, steelhead and Dolly Varden trout, making it a popular location for sport fishing. Megin Lake offers wilderness camping, recreational fishing, and canoeing and kayaking opportunities. Another good paddling area is in Upper Shelter Inlet, where paddlers can take a peaceful and picturesque trip down river. Majestic trees, crystal clear waters and a variety of wildlife including waterfowl, seals, sea lions and lots of black bears makes this a memorable trip within the park. Special Features: This park contains old-growth forests of spruce, fir and cedar, as well as a fresh water lake and an estuary.
