A beautiful isolated park on this island. Was colonized and farmed by Hawaiians. Apple trees still remain to this day!
Portland Island was formerly the site of Princess Margaret Provincial Marine Park, but along with the surrounding islets and rocks has now become part of the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve. www.pc.gc.ca/eng/pn-np/bc/gulf/index.aspx
