Russell Island – Settled by Hawaiians as early as 1886, this small island at the mouth of Salt Spring’s Fulford Harbour is blessed with many of the natural features typical of the southern Gulf Islands. Douglas fir, arbutus and Garry oak dominate the forest cover. Stands of shore pine rim the island’s outer edges. Open meadows of native grasses host yearly bursts of camas lilies and a variety of other wildflowers. The original house dates back over a century. The island has a small salt marsh. Marine access only - new dunghy dock available. Pit toilets and loop trail– no drinking water. The historic Kanaka house can be found via a side trail that leaves the northeast portion of the loop and visitors can access the historic house in the summer season and speak with Hawaiian descendants who provide and interpretation service at that location. Be careful by Eleanor Point (east) as it has a rock that dries. Part of Gulf Islands National Park Reserve (GINPR).

3. Ruckle Provincial Park – Seven kms of shoreline, eight coves, six heritage buildings, camping and picnic facilities. The Ruckle family generously donated 1,200 acres for the park in 1974. The Ruckle house, built in the 1930’s, is open to the public. The park’s tidal pools are colored by crab, mussels, sculpins, lumpets and purple starfish. Sea lions, seals, killer whales, mink and river otter are often seen from shore; a good place for advance scuba divers. Beaver Point was named after the Hudson Bay Company’s steamer, the “Beaver.” Nice coves, south and north of the light, which offer some protection from ferry wash, north and south winds.
Channel Islands – The Channel Islands in Captain Passage are important as seal and sealion haulouts and are also used for nesting by various bird species. The Channel Islands were used by First Nations as landmarks
