Isle De Lis/Rum Island can only be accessed by boat.
Backcountry campgrounds are accessible year round but are not regularly maintained from October 1 – May 14. Visitors may use them at their own risk.
This small island features a Douglas fir/arbutus forest and coastal bluffs, as well as vegetation that reflect the warm Mediterranean climate of the southern Gulf Islands, including prickly pear cactus.
This island is popular with kayakers who stop overnight on multi-day paddling trips. Plan to arrive early in the day as there are a limited number of campsites (3 sites). If designated sites are full set up in a low impact area.
Rum Island is connected to neighboring Gooch Island by a gravel beach that is the best place to put a kayak ashore. Gooch Island is private property: please do not trespass.
