PetroGlyph Provincial Park - Archive

Located at the south end of Nanaimo, where the Nanaimo River empties into the Northumberland Channel, Petroglyph Park is the site of hundreds of native carvings called petroglyphs, which are thought to be hundreds and even thousands of years old. They include carvings of mythological sea creatures, human figures, animals and more. No facilities are provided at this park, and in fact you should not get your hopes up about this place. The surrounding developments have blocked any spiritual properties the place once possessed; but it's cool if you really dig the idea of petroglyphs. Located on the Island Highway south of Alice's Restaurant and the Best Western
