The Park, with wharf for vessels under 7 metres, trailhead to Proctor Bay and fine shell beach is at the head of the bay. This site has been used by First Nations people for hundreds of years, as evidenced by the many middens found within the Park. There is a Great Blue Heron rookery in the SW corner and visitors will see a colony of these birds throughout much of the summer. There is a pit privy at the park site. But these are only a few of the reasons this spot is on our list. Echo Bay is home to Pierre’s Echo Bay Lodge, fabled for its character (and Pierre’s), social gatherings and the Wednesday night pig roast. From the Park or via water you will want to visit Billy Proctor’s museum in the bay named after him. Visit also the Salmon Coast Field Station and the gallery of artist Yvonne Maximchuk. You will stay in this place for at least a couple of days, we wager. You can moor at Pierre’s or find a spot to anchor deep in Echo Bay.
