Rauhala Heritage Farm is a privately owned farm on the outskirts of the town of Sointula, on Malcolm Island, B.C. Rauhala is surrounded by a 100 acre forest with our own private bay with fields, a creek and a beach campsite area there you can look out at the mountains of Northern Vancouver Island, where you may get to see some whales. Bring your own water. Pack-in/Pack-out garbage. You get to set up camp on our beach campsite, which overlooks the ocean and mountains. There are many hiking trails on our property where you can view some giant old growth trees. Rauhala is a heritage site and I do offer eco-heritage tours of the property. Rauhala means Place of Peace in the Finnish language and dates back to the early Finnish settlement of Sointula.

About

When to go

The ideal time to visit Lower Nimpkish Provincial Park is during the warmer months, from late May to early September, when the weather is most conducive for outdoor activities. Winter can be harsh, with heavy snowfall limiting access and activities, making it less ideal for visits.

Know before you go

  • Check weather conditions before your visit, as the park's climate can change rapidly.
  • Be prepared for wildlife encounters by keeping a safe distance and storing food securely.
  • Wear appropriate footwear for hiking, as terrain can be uneven and challenging.
  • There are no facilities within the park, so plan accordingly for a true back-to-nature experience.
