Okeover Arm Provincial Park is located on Okeover
Arm, a long neck of water along the east side of the
Malaspina Peninsula on the northern Sunshine Coast.
Visitors and paddlers will enjoy the 4-hectare park’s
waterfront setting and small campground.
There are hiking trails that wind through lightly
forested uplands, and outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy
swimming, fishing, diving and boating.
The park is the choice of paddlers intent on exploring
Desolation Sound Marine Provincial Park, BC’s largest
marine park, and is also an ideal launching spot for
kayakers who plan to paddle the sheltered waters of
the Malaspina Inlet.
Divers can explore the Okeover Caves on the east side
of Okeover Arm.
The sheer rock wall descends straight down; there are
two caves, the deeper is at 27 to 30 metres.
There are facilities for divers in Lund that include
dive-kayak rentals, charters and air fills.
This park offers 14 vehicle accessible campsites and 4 tent
only sites on a first-come, first-served basis – campsite
reservations are not accepted.
The 14 vehicle accessible sites are open seasonally and
the 4 tent only sites are open all year.
Except in the busiest summer months, you’ll probably
have your choice of any of the walk-in sites in the
forest beside Okeover Arm.
Part of the campsite and day use area are situated on
a traditional Sliammon Fist Nations archeological site.
There are interpretive signs explaining the significant
aspects of the site.
Although this park does not have a boat launch, there
is a boat launch immediately adjacent to the park.
Please note that the boat launch is only recommended
for use during high tides and with 4 wheel drive vehicle.
Okeover Arm Provincial Park is about 19 km north of
Powell River near the northern terminus of
Highway 101, and can be accessed off the Sunshine
Coast Highway 101, continuing to Malaspina Road,
which winds down to Okeover Arm.
