Park Amenities:
Eves Provincial Park is a "Class C" park located in Westholme, BC which is in an area called Crofton which is just couth of Chemainus, BC on Vancouver Island, Canada. The park is relatively a hidden gem, with little to no crowds, providing a network of hiking trails through a forest leading to a historic railway site, a rocky bluff, creek and pond.
The provincial park was once home to a railway right-of-way during the 1900s. It was used for transporting copper ore from Mount Sicker to the ocean port in, what is now, called Crofton. Throughout the park are information signs, a day use area, a nature centre and a section of the old rail line.
The park itself measures about 18 hectares. The John Lawson Nature Centre provides numerous displays, books and hands-on-activities for visitors.
A highlight of the park is the rocky bluff lookout located half way down the entrance road. From the bluff there are views of the valley below.
