About the Park
With its seven kilometres of shoreline, rocky headlands, and tiny coves and bays, Ruckle Park provides hours or even days of enjoyable exploration. Forest, field, and shore habitats make it one of the most productive wildlife viewing areas on Salt Spring.
Watch for sea lions and killer whales out at sea, as well as mink and river otters cavorting along the shoreline. Tidal pools are filled with a brightly coloured mix of crab, mussel, limpet, oyster, sculpin, starfish, and more.
The Ruckle family farm is the longest running farm currently operating in the Gulf islands. There are extensive hiking trails, beachcombing and heritage farm buildings to explore. An excellent wildlife viewing area. Firewood is available for sale.
