Temporary access interruption – Chatterbox Falls Moorage Facilities -Swíwelát, Princess Louisa Inlet
Princess Louisa Provincial Marine Park
To facilitate Phase 1 of infrastructure improvements at Princess Louisa Provincial Marine Park, specifically at the Chatterbox Falls location, work will be undertaken to replace the pier and the two sections of the main dock facilities. As we understand at this time, access to the park via the dock and ramp will be unavailable for a period of approximately fourteen (14) days at some point between May 19 to June 4, 2026, while this work is completed. The park itself will remain open, however boaters will not be able to access the park from the dock. At this time, it is our understanding that most of the main dock facilities are expected to remain available during the construction period for moorage only; however, this may change depending on project requirements and safety considerations. Members and visitors are strongly encouraged to check the BC Parks website for Princess Louisa Marine Park for the most current information regarding closures, access updates, and project timelines. http://www.bcparks.ca/princess-louisa-marine-park/ before planning any trips to the Inlet. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as these important infrastructure improvements are completed.
In addition, work will be conducted on the mooring buoys at both Chatterbox Falls and Macdonald Island April 30 - May 2. During this period, boaters may be required to temporarily relocate to facilitate these repairs for a few hours.
