It was established in 1973 with about {{convert|37200|acre}}, and later expanded to approximately {{convert|22294|ha}}.[1] Lanz and Cox Islands Provincial Park, formerly Scott Islands Marine Provincial Park,[2] is offshore, to the northwest of Cape Scott. GeographyThe park is known for its old growth forest and sandy beaches. The terrain is rugged and the area is known for its heavy rain and violent storms. The park's highest point is Mt. St. Patrick, {{convert|422|m}} above sea level. The park's largest lake is Eric Lake, at {{convert|44|ha}}. Most of the park is in the Nahwitti Lowland, a subunit of the Hecate Depression, part of the Coastal Trough. The former settlement of Cape Scott, which was founded by Danish-Canadian immigrants, is located within the park at {{coord|50|47|00|N|128|20|00|W}} at the head of Hansen Lagoon.[3] Another related settlement in the area is Strandby, named after a coastal village in Denmark and located facing Shuttleworth Bight at {{coord|50|50|15|N|128|08|20|W}}.[4] Climate{{Weather box|location = Cape Scott Provincial Park |metric first = Yes |single line = Yes |Jan record high C = 17.9 |Feb record high C = 17.2 |Mar record high C = 17.2 |Apr record high C = 22.0 |May record high C = 27.0 |Jun record high C = 21.7 |Jul record high C = 20.6 |Aug record high C = 23.9 |Sep record high C = 26.7 |Oct record high C = 20.4 |Nov record high C = 21.1 |Dec record high C = 14.8 |year record high C = 27.0 |Jan high C = 6.9 |Feb high C = 7.5 |Mar high C = 8.4 |Apr high C = 10.0 |May high C = 11.9 |Jun high C = 13.7 |Jul high C = 15.5 |Aug high C = 16.0 |Sep high C = 14.8 |Oct high C = 12.1 |Nov high C = 9.1 |Dec high C = 7.2 |year high C = 11.1 |Jan mean C = 4.9 |Feb mean C = 5.3 |Mar mean C = 6.0 |Apr mean C = 7.4 |May mean C = 9.4 |Jun mean C = 11.4 |Jul mean C = 13.2 |Aug mean C = 13.8 |Sep mean C = 12.6 |Oct mean C = 10.0 |Nov mean C = 7.1 |Dec mean C = 5.3 |year mean C = 8.9 |Jan low C = 2.8 |Feb low C = 3.1 |Mar low C = 3.6 |Apr low C = 4.8 |May low C = 6.8 |Jun low C = 9.0 |Jul low C = 10.9 |Aug low C = 11.6 |Sep low C = 10.3 |Oct low C = 7.8 |Nov low C = 5.0 |Dec low C = 3.3 |year low C = 6.6 |Jan record low C = -8.3 |Feb record low C = -10.7 |Mar record low C = -3.8 |Apr record low C = -1.1 |May record low C = 2.2 |Jun record low C = 4.4 |Jul record low C = 7.2 |Aug record low C = 7.8 |Sep record low C = 5.0 |Oct record low C = -3.2 |Nov record low C = -10.7 |Dec record low C = -11.1 |year record low C = -11.1 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation mm = 323.2 |Feb precipitation mm = 257.4 |Mar precipitation mm = 249.1 |Apr precipitation mm = 207.3 |May precipitation mm = 137.5 |Jun precipitation mm = 124.1 |Jul precipitation mm = 79.0 |Aug precipitation mm = 104.9 |Sep precipitation mm = 157.7 |Oct precipitation mm = 306.0 |Nov precipitation mm = 361.4 |Dec precipitation mm = 343.0 |year precipitation mm = 2650.6 |rain colour = green |Jan rain mm = 310.9 |Feb rain mm = 245.4 |Mar rain mm = 240.0 |Apr rain mm = 203.4 |May rain mm = 137.4 |Jun rain mm = 124.1 |Jul rain mm = 78.8 |Aug rain mm = 104.9 |Sep rain mm = 157.7 |Oct rain mm = 305.8 |Nov rain mm = 358.2 |Dec rain mm = 334.4 |year rain mm = 2601.1 |Jan snow cm = 12.5 |Feb snow cm = 11.7 |Mar snow cm = 9.3 |Apr snow cm = 3.8 |May snow cm = 0 |Jun snow cm = 0 |Jul snow cm = 0 |Aug snow cm = 0 |Sep snow cm = 0 |Oct snow cm = 0.2 |Nov snow cm = 3.2 |Dec snow cm = 8.2 |year snow cm = 49.0 |unit precipitation days= 0.2 mm |Jan precipitation days = 24.2 |Feb precipitation days = 21.0 |Mar precipitation days = 23.5 |Apr precipitation days = 21.1 |May precipitation days = 18.9 |Jun precipitation days = 18.3 |Jul precipitation days = 16.3 |Aug precipitation days = 16.9 |Sep precipitation days = 16.6 |Oct precipitation days = 23.3 |Nov precipitation days = 24.5 |Dec precipitation days = 24.6 |year precipitation days= 249.3 |unit rain days= 0.2 mm |Jan rain days = 22.8 |Feb rain days = 20.4 |Mar rain days = 23.0 |Apr rain days = 20.9 |May rain days = 18.9 |Jun rain days = 18.3 |Jul rain days = 16.3 |Aug rain days = 16.9 |Sep rain days = 16.6 |Oct rain days = 23.2 |Nov rain days = 24.4 |Dec rain days = 23.9 |year rain days= 245.8 |unit snow days= 0.2 cm |Jan snow days = 4.3 |Feb snow days = 3.2 |Mar snow days = 3.2 |Apr snow days = 1.9 |May snow days = 0.13 |Jun snow days = 0 |Jul snow days = 0 |Aug snow days = 0 |Sep snow days = 0 |Oct snow days = 0.31 |Nov snow days = 1.2 |Dec snow days = 3.2 |year snow days= 17.5 |source 1 = 1971-2000 Environment Canada [5] |date=October 2012 }} HistoryThe Kwakwaka'wakw First Nations created trails through the area that includes the park, using these trails for trade, to harvest resources, and to visit locations that were considered sacred.[6] Three First Nations reserves are within the park, including the former village of Nahwitti. In 1786, the area was named "Cape Scott" in honour of David Scott, a merchant of Mumbai (Bombay), who had backed James Strange's maritime fur trade voyage to the Pacific Northwest Coast.[7][8] From 1897 until 1910, Danish settlers tried to establish a fishing community near San Josef Bay. Due to the harsh climate and lack of governmental support, the community failed and most settlers left the area. Following that, another attempt was made at Hansen Lagoon, similarly failing by 1917. Alfred Spencer, the last resident, left in 1956. Some artifacts can still be seen in the park, including a three-metre-tall granite tombstone, several corduroy roads, many ruins (that look like anonymous mossy mounds), and rusty farming implements. Recreation{{see also|North Coast Trail}}The park is a popular destination for backpackers during the less rainy summer season. A logging road connects the towns of Port Hardy and Holberg to the southern end of the park. The rest of the park is accessible only by foot, helicopter, or boat. A popular backpacking trip is to hike the 16.8 km Cape Scott Trail to Nels Bight, which typically requires 4–7 hours each way and is rated as easy/moderate in difficulty.[6] It is mostly flat, but is often very muddy. Much of the trail consists of wooden boardwalk. The 43.1 km North Coast Trail, which opened in 2008, is an extension of the Cape Scott Trail. It has some very difficult sections in the east, and more moderate terrain in the west.[6] There are several campsites with pit toilets, metal food caches, and wooden tent platforms along the original Cape Scott trail and the North Coast Trail. For day hikers looking for a shorter trail (less than an hour each way), there is a path out to the beach at San Josef Bay.[9] See also
