About Helliwell Provincial Park
Helliwell Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada located on a headland at the northeast end of Hornby Island.

There are facilities for hiking, canoeing, picnicking, sightseeing, and scuba diving. Restroom facilities consist of four pit toilets. The park has large old-growth Douglas-fir trees and rare Garry oak ecosystems.
