Discover the lush temperate rainforest trails, peaceful boardwalks, and coastal lake shores of Diana Lake Provincial Park.

Situated just outside Prince Rupert, Diana Lake Provincial Park is a sanctuary of old-growth coastal rainforest. Hanging moss, giant western red cedars, and peaceful misty water create an otherworldly atmosphere that embodies the Pacific Northwest.

Trail Highlights: McDonald Lake & Diana Lake Loop

The trails here are well-maintained with wooden boardwalks traversing sensitive bog ecosystems. It’s a fantastic spot for:

Mushroom & Flora Photography: Autumn brings an incredible diversity of fungi and moss.
Canoeing & Paddleboarding: The sheltered waters of Diana Lake are calm and safe for paddlers.
