U Turn route back to ferry terminal. West to Deep Cove. West to McDonald Provincial Park. This park has now been transferred to the new Gulf Islands National Park Reserve. The southern Gulf Islands are located in one of Canada’s most heavily developed and urbanized natural regions—the Strait of Georgia Lowlands of British Columbia. To protect a representative portion of this region, Gulf Islands National Park Reserve of Canada was officially established on May 9, 2003. One of the most significant achievements of the Pacific Marine Heritage Legacy initiative of the governments of Canada and British Columbia, the new national park reserve will offer a variety of opportunities for Canadians to learn about and experience an exceptional coastal island landscape and the cultures of the people who live there.
