Park
Info:
Weymer Creek Provincial Park is known for its extensive cave system and unique
karst features -a distinctive topography in which the landscape is largely
shaped by the dissolving action of water on carbonate bedrock, usually limestone,
dolomite or marble - which are of provincial and national significance.
Some of the longest and deepest caves in Canada can be found in this park,
located southeast of Tahsis on northwestern Vancouver Island. These caves
provide critical habitat for bat species, including the red-listed Keens Long-eared
Myotis. The caves in the park are also significant for their palaeontological
values. Along with the significant cave and karst features, this park contains
old-growth and second-growth forest.
Although there may be potential for caving opportunities in the future, this
area is sensitive and use is not recommended until a management plan is complete.
Special Features:
-
Karst topography
is easily damaged. Please use caution in this sensitive area. Do not damage
or remove any rock formations or features from the caves.
