White Ridge Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada, and is located 4 km east of Gold River on Vancouver Island.

Geography

Adjoined to Strathcona Provincial Park, White Ridge forms the backdrop for the town of Gold River. It got its name from the white limestone and karst topography of the area.

Recreation

Hiking and wilderness camping are permitted within park boundaries. There may also be potential for caving in the area. White Ridge Park is renowned for its extensive cave system, which is primarily suitable for experienced cavers. Certain areas of this park are open for hunting specific species. Hunters are required to have valid licenses and tags.
