• Location Map

• History - Apodaca was designated to Provincial Park status in 1954, one year after the property was donated to the province by Major J.S. Matthews, a noted Vancouver historian, as a memorial to his son who died at age 22. The park honours the name given to the islands at the entrance to Howe Sound by early Spanish navigators.
• Conservation - The park lies within the Coastal Western Hemlock biogeoclimatic zone and is characterized by Douglas-fir, lodgepole pine, salal, and Pacific madrone. Slope, drainage, and local weather patterns also contribute to the presence of unique, rocky knoll vegetation, which is more typical of the Gulf Islands and Southern Vancouver Island.
• Wildlife - Apodaca's offshore waters support a variety of marine birds and mammals, such as marbled murrelet, harbour seal, and killer whale. Undersea and intertidal life include Pacific octopus, rockfish, and ochre starfish. The park also offers habitat for coast blacktail deer and a variety of birds.

Caution is advised around cliff areas and along shorelines due to wash from ferry and other water craft.
