Englishman River Falls Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada. It is located west of Parksville and borders the small community of Errington on Vancouver Island.[2]
Short year round access hiking trails and bridges access both upper and lower falls on the Englishman River. In 2019 new trails were under development in partnership with a community group. The base of the falls is a popular swimming hole[3] with 15 to 20 ft cliff jumping.[4] Salmon spawning can be observed in season.[5]
The campground has 107 sites, most of which are vehicle access and can be reserved during summer. There is a large day use area. The park covers 97 hectares and includes old-growth and second growth Douglas fir, cedar, hemlock and maple forest surroundings.[6]
A First Nations legend mentions the skeleton of a white man found near the falls, hence its name.[7]
The Englishman River Regional Park and a city part can be found nearby along the same river.[8]
