The Ark Resort, at the east end of spectacular Great Central Lake, provides easy and assisted access to the Della Falls Trail which starts at the western end of the lake. Della Falls are Canada’s highest waterfalls and are located in Strathcona Park.
The Ark Resort runs a water taxi service, and rental canoes. We also rent hiking equipment rentals: backpacks, tents, sleeping- bags etc. Our campground has lake and riverRV and tent sites, a mini-store, hot showers, flush toilets and coin laundry. We also provide a marina;
float planes are welcome, jet skis not welcome. Fishing is great and the swimming is refreshing.
Pets must be leashed.

Over a hundred years ago, in 1899, Joe Drinkwater, a prospector and trapper, discovered
Della Falls and named them for his wife. He staked claims at the turn of the century where he built an aerial tramway
which still hangs today. Della Falls are Canada’s highest waterfall with water falling from a height 440 meters.Della Lake is about 1080 meters above sea level and drains into a large pond where it then flows over the edge of the cliff.
Three mountains, Big Interior Mountain (1806 meters), Mt Septimus (1950 meters), and Nine Peaks (1842 meters) are nearby and provide a
spectacular addition to the scenery. The Falls are located only 60 km from the town of Port Alberni. To see the falls a boat trip is required, followed by a 2 1/2 to 3 day hike. The best view of the falls is from the Love Lake area.
