Main Lake Provincial Park is a provincial park on Quadra Island in British Columbia, Canada. Established in 1996 as Main Lakes Chain Park and renamed and expanded in 1997,[1] the park encompasses a large wilderness area of six lakes with many diverse animal, bird and plant species.[2] Opportunities for visitor observation and outdoor recreation include wilderness camping, canoeing, kayaking and hiking.[2] Main Lake, Village Bay Lake and Mine Lake are connected by narrow, shallow marshes.[2] Clear Lake, Stramberg Lake and Little Main Lake are accessible by hiking or rough portage.[2][1]
