Fox Group South (BCMT)
Broughton Archipelago Park is British Columbia's largest marine park, comprising dozens of undeveloped islands and islets located approximately 30 kilometres east of Port McNeill on Vancouver Island's north coast near Knight Inlet's mouth. Accessible by boat only through launches at Port McNeill, Telegraph Cove, or Port Hardy, the park offers year-round anchoring at multiple weather-dependent locations with no developed moorage buoys. Camping is available year-round with no winter camping fees, though the park provides no developed infrastructure including trails, fresh water sources, or built facilities. The setting is ideal for kayaking, saltwater fishing (salmon, rockfish, halibut, crabbing, prawning), and wildlife viewing including orcas, seals, sea lions, bears, and eagles, along with cultural heritage exploration at First Nations sites.
