How to get Discovery Islands Lodge

Getting here is part of the fun...
You’ll enjoy the beautiful drive through classic temperate rainforest in Quadra Island’s Main Lakes Provincial Park.

Driving Instructions:

When you arrive on the ferry from Campbell River, follow traffic and signs to Heriot Bay (about 8 km). Just opposite the fire hall, turn left onto Cramer Road and go “straight” 22 kilometers (14 miles) all the way to Discovery Islands Lodge. The winding paved road will change to gravel and also change names as you drive along: Cramer becomes Hyacinthe Bay Road, which becomes Surge Narrows Road.

You will be driving through Quadra Island’s wilderness.

The road ends near Discovery Islands Lodge, where you will see our sign and parking area. Allow 1/2 hour driving time from Heriot Bay.

Please be careful driving the Surge Narrows Road! It is a wonderfully scenic drive, but the road is narrow and many corners have poor visibility. The road is well maintained and fine for 2 wheel drive vehicles. Just take it easy and watch out for oncoming traffic.
