Morden Colliery Historic Provincial Park

People who want to see old coal mine workings should go to Morden Colliery Historic Provincial Park. There was a productive coal mine here from 1912, and it houses the only coal tipple remaining on Vancouver Island, safely inside a fenced area. The place became a provincial park in the 1970's - it's about four hectares.

Directions to the Park

Drive south on the highway, past the turnoff for Duke Point, and watch for the first intersection with a set of traffic lights - it's Morden Rd. Turn left, pass through a 4-way stop, and watch on your left. GeraldF from our forum has generously provided maps to Morden Colliery Park.
