Big Tree Recreation Site

A scattered grove of old growth Douglas Fir among second growth forest, ferns, mosses and mushrooms.  Big Tree Park is believed to have the largest existing tree on the Sunshine Coast (Gambier Island has a bigger one).

Watch for wildlife in this area.

Location:    Nine kms north of Sechelt on Highway 101, and 400m before Trout Lake, take the Halfmoon-Carlson Forest Service Road which leaves the highway at a small rock quarry on your right.  Proceed exactly 2.8 kms on the main logging road, ignoring spurs to the left and right.  Park at a wide spot immediately beyond the trail.
