Questions & answers

Q:
Are the old growth trees accesible with a wheelchair?
A:
I think it depends on the weather and how near you want to get. It can get very wet and muddy - it is not a paved path. You can get a reasonable view from the car park.
Q:
Is it suitable to bring a good quality Thule stroller?
A:
Part of the trail system can accommodate a stroller - the Grove gets very busy in the summer months, so you would want to be mindful of other visitors.
Q:
How much does it cost to walk in cathedral grove?
A:
It costs nothing. All Provincial parks in BC are free to visit.
Q:
How old are the Douglas firs in Cathedral grove
A:
Some are quite old. At least 600 years
Q:
Is it possible get to the Cathedral Grove (or MacMillan Provincial Park) by public transport (e.g. from Port Alberni or Parksville)?
A:
there's no bus stops or public transport servicing the park
