Community Profile - French Creek & Lasqueti Island
Community Facts
Famous among anglers, French Creek is a short distance north of Parksville on the Oceanside Route (Hwy 19A) and has a government dock, a resort, St. Ann's Church, and a golf course that has hosted the CPGA qualifying school. The third annual French Creek Family Fishing Festival is a week-long celebration that includes a Kids Dock derby, a Seafood Chowder Competition, and daily fishing competitions.
From French Creek, take the passenger ferry to pretty Lasqueti Island. Walk across the north end of Lasqueti Island to Scottie Bay and Spring Bay, where a cave and eagles' nests are located. In Scottie Bay, find clam beaches and a shipyard. The road down the centre of Lasqueti Island passes lakes, a mountain, and bays before reaching the Squitty Bay boat dock.
