Woss
Woss, also commonly known as Woss Lake after the nearby lake of the same name, is a small village in the centre of the Nimpkish Valley, located 75 km southeast of Port McNeill and 128 km north of Campbell River on Highway 19. Back in the day, Woss acted as a trade route for the indigenous peoples connecting the east and west coast of the North Island. Woss Lake Provincial Park is home to remote ecotourism activities such as hiking, mountaineering, skiing, snowboarding and wilderness camping – in the right season! From December-April (snow permitting), nearby Mount Cain offers world-class powder and backcountry skiing.

Choose your own adventure along one of the longest – and most wild – Vancouver Island road trip routes. This 385 km trip from Nanaimo to Port Hardy varies in travel time depending on the season but its rugged beauty is gorgeous year-round. The potential for animal sightings will have you at the edge of your seats with excitement but you’ll also find comfort in the warm embrace of trees towering around you. The northernmost town on Vancouver Island, Port Hardy is the end of the road – well, at least the paved road, but for the more seasoned outdoors enthusiasts, it’s here that the adventure really begins.
