Kennedy Lake
Located north of Ucluelet on the Island's central west coast, Kennedy Lake is the largest lake on Vancouver Island. The lake is formed by the confluence of the Clayoquot and Kennedy Rivers. The lake includes an extensive northern arm, called Clayoquot Arm. The lake is part of the ancestral lands of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations, and is named for the last governor of the Colony of Vancouver Island, Sir Arthur Kennedy.
Due to the region's natural beauty portions of it are protected from any logging. There are five different provincial and national parks surrounding the lake, Clayoquot Plateau Provincial Park, Clayoquot Arm Provincial Park, Kennedy Lake Provincial Park, Kennedy River Bog Provincial Park and Pacific Rim National Park. The lake is very popular with both locals and tourists looking to camp, swim, or fish.
Somedays the lake can get really rough, my most recent visit the wind was howling and the waves were crashing the shore. It was a glorious day!
Thanks for reading.
