    The Little Qualicum River rises in Cameron Lake, located in Little Qualicum Falls Provincial Park on Vancouver Island.

    River flow can vary significantly depending on season and rainfall. In spring and autumn, the flow tends to be higher due to snowmelt and rain. During the summer, the flow may be lower.

    It flows into the Strait of Georgia, near the town of Qualicum Beach.

      The area around the Little Qualicum River has been inhabited by indigenous communities for thousands of years, including the Coast Salish First Nations. These communities have used the river and its surroundings for fishing, hunting and gathering food.



      During European exploration and colonization, the region became an area of interest due to its rich biodiversity and natural resources. European settlers used the river and its surroundings for logging and fishing.


      Little Qualicum Falls Provincial Park was established in 1940 to protect the natural beauty and ecosystem of the area. Since then, it has become a popular destination for tourists and nature lovers.

      An interesting anecdote is the migration of salmon. Each year, salmon swim upstream from the ocean to Cameron Lake to spawn. This natural phenomenon attracts many tourists and is an important part of the life cycle of the local ecosystem.
