| The
parks and trails of the Queen
Charlottes are some of the most remote and rugged wilderness park
destinations in Canada. The trail system includes a good mix of
easy, maintained trails and hard, long-haul muddy treks. Many
of the parks include trails leading to sandy beaches, rivers,
lakes and mountain peaks.

The network of trails and parks
are divided into three regional areas - Graham Island, Moresby
Island and Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve. Both Graham and
Moresby Island parks and trailheads are accessed by vehicle while
Gwaii Haanas is accessed by boat or floatplane only.
Graham Island has many parks and trails to select
from. Most are located in around the main villages of Masset,
Tlell, Port Clements, Skidegate and Queen Charlotte City. The
northeast and eastern coastline of Graham Island falls within
Naikoon Provincial Park.
The Naikoon encompasses some beautiful view trails like the East
Beach, Tow Hill
and Cape Fife Trails.
The smaller island, Moresby, has some viewpoints
of its own and trails to discover. The Sandspit Loop Drive will
lead most to all the main trails and parks on this island. Some
of the more popular park destinations are the Dover
Trail and Onward
Point Lookout.
The Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve is a sacred
park rich in Haida culture and history. The park is the home to
many ancient Haida villages and Totem Poles. So special is this
place that land access is only permitted when accompanied by a
Haida guide or with proper authorization by the Haida people.
Please respect this.
The National Geographic Traveler Magazine rated
the Gwaii Haanas as the #1 park destination in North America.
