Spider Lake

About the Park

A very popular day-use destination; Spider Lake provides great swimming and fishing opportunities and is only 20 minutes from Rathtrevor Beach or Little Qualicum Falls Provincial Park.

The warm water of Spider Lake is noted for its excellent canoeing, kayaking and swimming and the park is an idyllic spot for a quiet family outing. Paddlers can spend a peaceful afternoon exploring the shoreline and the many secluded bays of this lake.
