Remote Triangle Island |
Scott Islands Provincial Park encompasses Lanz Island, Cox Island and the three ecological reserves of Triangle Island, Beresford Island and Sartine Island.
This group of islands is located off the extreme northern tip of Vancouver Island, northwest of Cape Scott Provincial Park.
The ecological reserves were established to protect the wildlife that is unique to or representative of the area.
The 6,215-hectare park contains remote rocky islands that protect colonies of breeding seabirds, including Cassin's auklet, tufted puffins, common murres, pelagic and Brant's cormorants and glaucous-winged gulls. The park also protects one of four Steller's sea lion breeding rookeries in British Columbia.

Cape Scott Provincial Park is one of the wildest, windiest, most woebegone locales in the province for human habitation. Journeying to either Brooks Peninsula or Cape Scott is only for those whose mettle has been tested by repeated exposure to the bellows and blast-furnace of nature in the raw. Going the extra distance to get to the Cape Scott Islands requires even more determination - and a helicopter or boat.
The Scott Islands are undeveloped, with no facilities available.
Recreational boaters wishing to observe the wildlife should respect the ecological reserves and observe the wildlife colonies from an appropriate distance offshore.
Scott Islands Provincial Park can be accessed by boat from Winter Harbour.
