6. MacMillan Provincial Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 200 reviews
Reviewed By BenLar137 - Calgary, Canada
It's quite an experience to walk through the trails of MacMillan Provincial Park, situated between Nanaimo and Port Alberni. The rainforest is so dense with life, huge trees, moss covering practically everything else, it can be a bit overwhelming. But it is indeed a very worthwhile stop. When we were there in April, it was not terribly busy, and we found parking okay. During the summer months, however, I can imagine that it might be a bit of challenge, as there didn't seem to be large parking lots anywhere. We would suggest, therefore, if you're counting on walking these magnificent trails, to head there a bit early, and not leave it to "rush hour." But explore this place if you can! Caution: this IS a rainforest, so it rains a lot here - trails can get wet and muddy! Wear appropriate shoes.
7. Sproat Lake Provincial Park

Reviewed By Joebear1966 - Fort St. John, Canada
We were visiting Port Alberni in August and our local friend recommended to spend some time at the Sproat Lake just 15 min outside of Port Alberni. Warm water, lots of spaces for camping, or sunbathing.

This Candy & Ice cream shop is a hidden gem in Port Alberni. Everything is made from scratch with TLC! It’s rare to find a business that’s owned and operated independently, and puts so much care into creating such wonderful treats for all to enjoy. During the holidays, every year you can even go down for complimentary, bottomless, in house made hot chocolate, and dip fudge into the chocolate fountain! FUN ????

Drove by many times and never stopped. From road entrance to the hole took under 15 minutes. There are trail signs. Would recommend good footwear as a portion is a seasonal stream bed! Located across from Coombs Candy. Parked on roadside.
