Kennedy Lake Provincial Park

Adjacent to Clayoquot Sound, Kennedy Lake in the largest body of fresh water on Vancouver Island. The park includes two sites along the south shore of the lake, located on Hwy 4, 8 km east of the Pacific Rim Hwy/Hwy 4 junction. The closest communities are Ucluelet and Tofino. One access spot is directly off of Hwy 4 and the other is from a logging road off of Hwy 4. Here’s a map.

There are magnificent steep-sided mountains surrounding the lake. This causes winds to whip up across the lake and Clayoquot Arm with little warning. The waves and wind made for some fun swimming while we were there.
