How to get there.

Hash-finder Map

 Friday morning travel 2 1/2 hours north up the Island Highway (#1) to BC Ferries Comox Little River Terminal, following the signs taking exit 117 at Comox, and catching the 10:10 AM BC Ferries departure to Powel River (south of Lund). 

To get to the terminal:
  • Take the Comox Valley Pkwy to Cumberland, turn left on Cumberland, and at the roundabout  turn right onto Wilemar Ave then immediate left onto 17th St. that borders the park.
  • Take 17th to the bridge and turn left at Comox Rd (follow the Ferries sign).
  • Turn right at Ryan Rd. 
  • Turn left at Anderton Rd  which turns into Ellenor Rd leading to the Ferry Terminal.
BC Ferries urges passengers to arrive at the terminal at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled sailing time to ensure staff have time to process all vehicles in the lineup, so you ought to leave Victoria by 7 AM to avoid speeding to reach Comox on time.  The next ferry is at 3:15 PM. Here is the BC Ferries Comox - Powell River Scheduke - crossing takes 1 hour 20 minutes.
